Killer ruled mentally incompetent to be executed An Ohio judge has ruled a condemned killer not mentally competent to be executed for the death of his wife and brother-in-law. Today's ruling comes just a week after Gov. Kasich ordered a last-minute reprieve, hours before Abdul Awkal was set to die. Awkal is convicted of killing his estranged wife and brother-in-law in a Cleveland courthouse in 1992 as the couple prepared to divorce. Awkal's attorneys had argued during several days of testimony that he is so mentally ill he believes the CIA is orchestrating his execution. The Ohio Parole Board voted 8-1 last month against recommending mercy, with most members concluding Awkal had planned the shooting and it wasn't because of a psychotic breakdown.
Leftover legislation Sixteen significant policy bills moved through the state Legislature in the final two months before Ohio lawmakers began summer break this week, but a handful of closely-watched proposals linger. Intensive lobbying and local attack ads on key Republican senators didn't succeed in knocking free the contentious heartbeat bill. The measure would impose the most stringent abortion limit in the nation, essentially banning the procedure at the first detectable fetal heartbeat. Other measures left unfinished include a package changing eligibility formulas for some of Ohio's public pension funds, and a proposal to toughen Ohio's voter ID requirement. |
