Condemned Ohio killer of 3 arrives at death house

COLUMBUS (AP) — A condemned Ohio killer of three who identifies himself as a woman and who has spent 27 years on death row has arrived at the state death house a day before his scheduled execution.

Prison officials say Frank Spisak was calm and reserved as he reached the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville this morning.

The 57-year-old Spisak was sentenced to die for killing two men and a teen at Cleveland State University as part of what he called “hunting parties” to find and shoot blacks.

Witnesses scheduled to watch him die Thursday include his attorneys, the brother of one victim and the daughter of another.

Spisak has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to delay his execution based on anti-death penalty comments by a state Supreme Court justice.
