On May 4, 2015, the Supreme Court of Ohio set execution dates in 2018  in the following death penalty cases: State v. Stumpf, State v. Coley, and State v. Fitzpatrick.

Justice Bill O’Neill dissented in all three, as he has done in every order of execution and death penalty appeal affirming a death sentence since he assumed the high court bench, citing his reasoning in State v. Wogenstahl, 1995-0042. You can read O’Neill dissent in that case here. It sums up his opposition to the death penalty, period.
