Republican Ohio Supreme Court Justice Paul Pfeifer, who helped write Ohio's death penalty law three decades ago, now says the state should halt executions. “'The time has come for us to make that change,'' Pfeifer said.
“Justice Paul Pfeifer also said Gov. John Kasich and any future governor should consider commuting the sentences of Ohio's death row inmates to life without parole.
‘These are important matters that need all of our thoughtful attention — need the attention of the legislature to consider seriously whether we're well-served by this statute any longer,’ he said in remarks following his swearing-in ceremony.”
