Unfair and unjust: Ohio needs death penalty moratorium
May 9, 2005According to a new study -the first of its kind in Ohio -The Associated Press has shown that Ohio's death penalty laws have been inconsistently applied since the law's passing in 1981. The study has concluded that factors like race, plea bargaining and the crime location all affect whether or not individuals would face the death penalty or receive lesser sentences like life in prison. The trend, exposed by the Associated Press, points to a major problem that the Ohio Legislature needs to address before the state executes any more death row inmates.

Ohio Statehouse chooses the wrong battles

Strickland's in: Athens' rep provides Democrats with credible gubernatorial pick
May 9, 2005The collective eye of Ohio Democrats -and even many Ohio Republicans -is currently on U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland, D-Lisbon, and his entrance into the gubernatorial race of 2006.
