Poll shows strong support for Strickland reprieves


Poll shows strong support for Strickland reprieves:

Julie Carr Smyth has this AP report noting strong support for Ohio Governor Ted Strickland's decision to delay the executions of Kenneth Biros, James Filiaggi and Christopher Newton.
Excerpt:
Voters supported Strickland, 60 percent to 31 percent, in his decision to delay the first three scheduled executions of his administration, postponing lethal injections for Kenneth Biros, James Filiaggi and Christopher Newton. Strickland said he needed more time to review the cases thoroughly to determine if clemency is appropriate.
