John W. Byrd Jr. on death row since 1988 for killing Monte Tewksbury during a 133.97 robbery at a Cincinnati convenience store. Byrd awaits an appeal ruling as Ohio readies another execution of Wilford Berry, with no date set for Byrd.
The discussion centers on Governor Taft and a possible surge of executions in Ohio. Tobin predicts several before Taft leaves office and up to 20 or 30 by the end of his term, driven by inmates exhausting appeals. Officials caution that a single execution does not accelerate others, noting many cases await review and media attention may wane.
Long-pending appeal of death row inmate Post moves through Cleveland court after state appeals failed. His attorney Mooney seeks discovery to challenge admissibility of statements to Holmek and to a fellow inmate, arguing attorney client privilege and police tactics affected the trial. The case centers on the 1983 killing of Vantz at a Griswold Road motel and a planned robbery by Post and two accomplices.
Gov. Bob Taft will begin carrying out death sentences for inmates on Death Row. Vantz states justice denied is justice not served and cites Ronald Ray Post, sentenced to die in the electric chair after 16 years, noting options for clemency or execution.
