COLUMBUS, Ohio AP – A federal judge on Monday denied an emergency delay in the execution of an Ohio inmate scheduled to become the first person in the U.S put to death with a single drug.
In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost in Columbus said Ohio’s execution system still has flaws that “raise profound concerns and present unnecessary risks.” But the judge also wrote, it appears unlikely that Kenneth Biros can “demonstrate that those risks rise to the level of violating the United States Constitution.”
