As this infographic shows, misconduct can include withholding evidence that points to innocence, presenting false or misleading evidence, excluding jurors based on race or gender, intimidating witnesses, and making improper appeals to a jury’s prejudices.
These practices threaten fairness and public trust. Ohioans deserve a system built on fairness, accountability, and truth. #OhioansToStopExecutions #FairnessAndJustice #ProsecutorialMisconduct #CriminalJustice #Ohio #DeathPenalty #CriminalJusticeReform #EndTheDeathPenalty

He remains on death row. Why? 1/
Ohio Revised Code places a heavy burden of proof on a defendant, along with a process where the state may act as an adversarial “gatekeeper,” blocking access, dragging the process out for years, and creating administrative barriers. 2/
After decades of waiting, Tyrone Noling—who has spent much of his life on Ohio’s death row—has finally secured a commutation recommendation from the parole board. But commutation to LWOP for an innocent man is not justice.
