Gov. Mike DeWine has postponed the execution dates for three Ohio Death Row inmates: Warren K. Henness, Lawrence Landrum, and Sean Carter.COLUMBUS, Ohio—Gov. Mike DeWine has pushed back the scheduled execution dates of three convicted murderers, in keeping with his years-long, de facto death penalty moratorium.
Warren K. Henness, Lawrence Landrum, and Sean Carter, who until now had been the next three inmates set to be put to death in Ohio, each had their execution dates moved back until 2027. The reprieves, announced by DeWine’s office on Friday, are the latest in a series of execution delays ordered by the governor since he took office in 2019, citing ongoing issues with the state’s ability to obtain lethal-injection drugs.in Henness’ case suggesting that the lethal-injection drugs Ohio had been using were unconstitutional because they produced a painful sensation of drowning comparable to the torture tactic of waterboarding.

Landrum was convicted of murdering 84-year-old Harold White in 1985 while burglarizing White’s apartment, hitting the victim with a railroad bolt before cutting his neck. Henness, who had been set to be put to death on Dec. 17, 2024, is now scheduled to die on Dec. 15, 2027. The Columbus man was convicted of murdering his drug-abuse counselor, Richard Myers, in 1992. Prosecutors said Henness kidnapped Myers, shot him five times at an abandoned water-treatment plant, severed the victim’s finger to get his wedding ring, then drove around in Myers’ car for several days forging his checks and using his credit cards to get cash and buy crack cocaine.Carter, who was originally scheduled to be executed on Jan. 22, 2025, is now set to die on Nov. 17, 2027. The Warren residentOhio hasn’t staged an execution since 2018, as state officials have struggled to obtain drugs to use in lethal injections – currently the state’s only authorized execution method. That’s because pharmaceutical companies have refused on moral and legal grounds to sell drugs to Ohio, as well as other states, to use in executions.that if drug companies find that Ohio used its drugs to put people to death, they will refuse to sell any of its drugs – not just the ones used in executions – to the state. That, he said, would endanger the ability of thousands of Ohioans – such as Medicaid recipients, state troopers and prison inmates – to get drugs through state programs.that there would be no more executions in Ohio unless state lawmakers pick an alternative execution method – a step the legislature has so far shown no interest in taking.so long as lethal-injection drugs remain unavailable or if an inmate chooses it. However, so far that bill has remained in an Ohio House committee.Jeremy Pelzer covers state politics and policy for Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer.
