With one man’s execution in limbo, victim families divided about death penalty in Ohio
Gov. Mike DeWine postponed another state execution Thursday. Keith Lamar was sentenced to death for his role in killing five inmates during a riot at the Lucasville Prison in the 1990s. But capital punishments in the state have been on hold for five years because of trouble getting the drugs need for lethal injections.Suzanne Taylor and her two daughters were brutally murdered in North Royalton in 2017.
But some victims' family members don't feel that way. Jonathan Mann’s father John was killed a month earlier in Parma. Thomas Knuff also got the death penalty, but this isn't something Mann wants.He is now an advocate against the death penalty, working with Ohioans to Stop Executions , saying the punishment draws out the legal process for victims' families and forces them to deal with appeals for years.
It also disproportionately impacts people of color. Capital defendants charged with killing a white victim in Ohio are twice as likely to receive a death sentence as those charged with killing a Black person, OTSE found. "We're talking about trauma centers, we're talking about helping people with funerary expenses, with counseling," he said."There is a litany of services that could help all victims of crime."
