NewsCooey Has One Legal Option Left
10/2/2008 9:49:47 AM | Joe Jastrzemski
Options are dwindling for Richard Cooey. His final legal challenge is pending in Franklin County Common Pleas Court where he is seeking to have lethal injection declared unconstitutional.

Cooey also is awaiting a decision on clemency from Governor Strickland. Columbus Federal Judge Gregory Frost rejected Cooey's contention that he can't be executed humanely because he has poor veins, a problem exacerbated by his obesity.
Judge Frost also said Cooey missed adeadline for filing a claim over his poor vein access. Cooey had also argued a drug he takes for migraine headaches would interfere with the injection chemicals.
Cooey's scheduled execution later this month would be the first in Ohio in more than a year.

AkronNative said:It's good to see a situation where the criminal is not getting away with their crime because of the loopholes in "the system" or the criminal's "rights" for once. I'm sure this b*st*rd's victim pleaded for mercy also. Her family deserves the peace and closure of knowing that her killer has finally received the least of what he deserves!
