Abolishing the death penalty in Ohio will be a top priority for the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus this year, leaders said Tuesday.
For years, bills to end executions have gone nowhere in the GOP-controlled Ohio General Assembly. But growing Republican support, heightened awareness of racial bias in the criminal justice system and the state s indefinite pause on executions have culminated in the right moment to stop the practice, Rep. Stephanie Howse said. Wrong doesn’t beget wrong and we have to be able to bring those things together, Howse, D-Cleveland, said during a Tuesday news conference with clergy members from across Ohio. For the people saying we are Christians and we believe in life – it’s all life and you don’t get to be selective about that.
