Governor commutes death sentence of convicted murderer

Without comment, Gov. John Kasich on Monday commuted Montgomery's death sentence to life in prison without possibility of parole, agreeing with the 6-4 recommendation of the Ohio Parole Board on March 16. It marked the sixth time that the governor, a Republican, has commuted a death sentence, each time to life in prison without parole. Montgomery, 52, had been scheduled to be executed on April 11 for the 1986 robbery murder of Debra Ogle, 20, of South Toledo.
