State Halts Campbell's Execution

Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction

Ohio Governor John Kasich has set a new execution date for a death row inmate whose poor veins forced a stop to yesterday's attempted lethal injection procedure. 69-year-old Alva Campbell will now be executed on June 5, 2019. Execution team members yesterday were unable to find usable veins.
