This article details the execution of an Ohio inmate who was on death row for the murder of 16 year old Angel Vincent in 1988. Ohio is one of the states that allow execution via legal injection. I understand that there are a lot of legalities of having an inmate on death row and administering the deadly cocktail to ensure their death; however, this process took 22 years which seems a bit absurd to me. A lot of the comments from readers (that can be found at the bottom of this article) also say that it seemed to take Ohio a long time to put this man to death for his actions and that it should have not taken such a long time. Understandably, the inmate can file types of appeals to reverse the conviction and punishment and maybe this is why it took so long?
