Inmate can face execution again after failed attempt, Ohio Supreme Court rules

Ohio can try a second time to execute convicted killer Romell Broom, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled today. In a 4-3 ruling written by Justice Judith Lanzinger, the court said that the state would not violate the U.S. Constitution Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment by executing Broom, a Cleveland man who was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering 14-year-old Tyrna Middleton in 1984.
