Why Toledo is a shithole

Ohio DOES execute.

Ohio executed a condemned killer for fatally stabbing the 15-year-old son of his former employers in what was the state's first execution in six months.
Mark Wiles, 49, dropped his final appeal last week, and died by lethal injection earlier today, ending an unofficial moratorium on the death penalty that occurred while the state and a federal judge wrangled over Ohio's lethal injection procedures.

Wiles broke into the house of his former employer, Carol Klima, but was caught in the act by Mark Klima, the couple's son.

Afraid of leaving behind a witness who could return him to prison, Wiles stabbed and beat the boy until he finally stopped moving, then left the knife buried in his victim's back.

Wiles could easily have escaped the farmhouse after Mark Klima surprised him, Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci told the parole board.

'Instead Wiles chose to repeatedly plunge the eight-inch kitchen knife into Mark Klima again and again,' Vigluicci said.

Wiles told members of the Ohio Parole Board during a March 2 interview he wasn't sure he deserved mercy but was asking for clemency because he had to.

The execution marked the first time in six months Ohio has put someone to death.

Wiles' defense team had argued he should be spared because he confessed to the crime, has shown extreme remorse and regret and has a good prison record.

'Mark does want to live out his natural life in prison,' his attorneys said in their application for clemency.

They added, 'his remorse and regret are so overwhelming that he could not articulate reasons his life should be spared.'
