Kenneth Biros execution delayed by federal judge
TweetCINCINNATI (AP) — A fourth Ohio inmate has gotten a temporary stay of execution as state officials and defense lawyers continue to examine the state’s lethal injection method.
A federal judge on Monday indefinitely delayed the scheduled Dec. 8 execution of 51-year-old Kenneth Biros, formerly of Brookfield, who was convicted of the 1991 murder and attempted rape of Tami Engstrom of Masury. The judge also indefinitely delayed the second effort to execute Romell Broom, whose botched execution attempt last month prompted the review.
Gov. Ted Strickland this month postponed the executions of two other men who were scheduled to die before Biros, Lawrence R. Reynolds Jr. and Darryl Durr, until the spring.
The state is considering ways to adjust its death chamber procedure after technicians couldn’t locate suitable veins on Broom through which to administer lethal drugs.

Why dodn't we just build a 4 station Gallows in Central Square and get rid of all four of them at once. It'd sure save a lot of time and money and also maybe the death penalty would start to have the impact on potential rapists and murderers it is supposed to have.
Putting them to sleep like poor sick Fluffy seems way too good for some of these.
We have been SUPPORTING this evil Satan since 1991, 'kenneth bi-rass' living in comfort.
Meanwhile, Miss Tami Engstrom and her family are the victims of senseless violence.
My heart goes out to Tami's family and friends.
~~~God Bless Them,
