NewsJudges Rejects Cooey's Plea For A New Sentence
9/29/2008 6:06:33 PM | Craig Simpson
A panel of judges has rejected a request for a new sentencing hearing by a killer facing the first execution in Ohio in more than a year.

Cooey says he deserves the new hearing because he was sentenced to die by electrocution but the state outlawed the electric chair in 2001 in favor of injection.
The three judge panel disagreed Monday and says Cooey hadn't put forward an argument with any chance of succeeding.
The panel also says Cooey waited far too long to argue about the method of execution. Cooey's original sentencing was in 1986.
