Ohio Republican Governor Wants Death Penalty Abolished
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican, announced he now believes the state should abolish the death penalty, citing data showing it does not serve as a deterrent to violent crime.

The announcement comes as national support for capital punishment continues to decline.
