Ohio Postpones Four Executions
------------------------------



In Ohio, four executions have now been postponed as the state revises
its lethal injection procedures. The review began after a failed
execution on September 15, when the state attempted to kill Romell
Broom. Broom’s execution was put off after technicians spent over two
hours trying to maintain an intravenous connection in order to inject
him with lethal drugs.
