Ohio Governor commutes Killinger death sentence to life
Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche commutes 18 year old Jerry Killinger’s death sentence to life imprisonment less than 12 hours after Max Amerman, 28, was electrocuted for planning the murder. Killinger’s motive involved love for Randi Mast and an apparent hero worship of Amerman. The governor cited mercy after pleas from Harald Mast’s parents and noted Killinger was a boy under the influence of Amerman.
