Biros isn’t the only murderer who shouldn’t get a reprieve

Biros isn’t the only murderer who shouldn’t get a reprieve

EDITOR:

Your Oct. 30 criticism of the Kenneth Biros delay of execution did not go far enough. Yes, U.S. District Court Judge Frost did overstep his constitutional boundary by issuing the Biros stay. But Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland was also wrong to issue postponements of execution for stranglers Lawrence Reynolds and Daryl Durr.

Why should these two thugs receive stays and thus a benefit of doubt when 32 of 33 executions in Ohio have occurred without a hitch? Strickland overreacted and erred on the side of two horrendously evil men at the expense of the victims and their families who once again have to witness the justice system bend backwards and go extremely overboard on behalf of murderers.

Strickland and Frost both totally lack proportionality and perspective when it comes to justice. Where is the balance? It doesn’t exist.
