Mike Boudet

At the end of the trial, no mitigating circumstances were going to stand in the way of justice.

Michael Madison has now spent nearly a decade on Ohio's death row.

He was sentenced on June 2, 2016, and was scheduled to die by lethal injection on May 20, 2021.

But an unofficial moratorium on executions...

has stalled all lethal injections in Ohio since 2020.

Want to know why?

Well, they're waiting for an alternative execution method in place of lethal injection.

You see, they can't get their hands on the right drugs to make the deadly cocktail.

They can put dogs and cats to sleep all day long.

All the strays, put them all to sleep in a humane way, we're told.

But they can't get the cocktail right for humans.

Isn't that strange?

It's almost as if they don't want to.

And are just hiding behind some bullshit regulation in order to not do it.

Despite what the populace might have voted for already.

Doesn't sound very democratic, does it?

Anyway, for now, this asshole is still alive.

as the system that condemned him sits frozen in time, almost by design.

This killer didn't just kill out of nowhere.

His crimes were monstrous, but they happened after unresolved festering thoughts from a long entangled legacy of suffering.
