Douglas Coley, sentenced to death for the murder of a Toledo man in 1997, is rescheduled to face execution on Sept. 24, 2025, instead of July 20.
Lawrence A. Landrum, sentenced to death for the murder of man near Chillicothe in 1985, will now face execution on Aug. 27, 2025, instead of Aug. 24.
A reprieve message Friday from DeWine cited “ongoing problems involving the willingness of pharmaceutical suppliers to provide drugs to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction” that are used in executions.
There have been no executions since DeWine took office in January 2019. The governor has routinely postponed scheduled lethal injections, citing issues in obtaining drugs used in the procedure.
