Ohio: Condemned inmate Lawrence Reynolds wants execution delayed

A death row inmate has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to delay his upcoming execution in light of problems with the state's last scheduled lethal injection.

Attorneys for Lawrence Reynolds filed a motion with the state's highest court today, days after a similar filing with a federal appeals court.

Reynolds execution scheduled for Oct. 8 would be the 1st since the state's unsuccessful attempt at putting Romell Broom to death on Sept. 15. The lethal injection procedure was halted by Gov. Ted Strickland after executioners struggled for 2 hours to find a usable vein.

Broom's execution has been delayed until at least Nov. 30.

Reynolds' lawyers argue that Ohios lethal injection system should be investigated before he goes to the death chamber.
