COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has set two new execution dates for condemned killers, including a man on death row since 1984 for shooting his three sons as they lay in bed.

The court set a Nov. 15 date for 65-year-old Reginald Brooks, sentenced to die for killing his children in Cleveland in 1982 two days after his wife served divorce papers.

The court set a Feb. 22, 2012, date for 62-year-old Michael Webb, sentenced to die for killing his 3-year-old son in an arson fire in Clermont County in 1990.

The court also upheld an Aug. 16 execution date for Brett Hartman for a 1997 killing in Akron.
