U.S. Supreme Court Denies Cooey
 10/13/2008 5:23:50 PM  |  Craig Simpson

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied a request by an Ohio death row inmate to stop his execution.

The high court on Monday turned down the appeal by 41-year-old Richard Cooey without comment. His attorneys argued that Cooey's obesity could make it difficult for prison staff to access a suitable vein to deliver the deadly chemicals used in lethal injection.

Cooey is scheduled to die Tuesday for killing two University of Akron students in 1986.

Cooey was still waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court on a separate appeal. In that case, the Ohio Supreme Court on Monday denied Cooey's request that the state use a single drug in the lethal injection process instead of a three-drug combination that he says could cause an agonizing and painful death.
