LUCASVILLE, Ohio AP – Witnesses to the scheduled execution of a killer who scattered a woman’s remains across two states could have an even more somber experience than those who watched previously when Ohio put nearly three dozen other inmates to death.
Inmate Kenneth Biros, if executed as planned Tuesday morning, would become the first person in the U.S. to die by lethal injection with a single drug, a process most death penalty experts agree will take longer than the old method. Biros’ procedure would be the first lethal injection since the state’s switch from using a three-drug combination.
