This death penalty case is a good read „ whatever ones position on the penalty• {¶s 1-309 and 312-317} omitted — full opinion at link below• VI. Conclusion {¶ 310} We affirm the judgments of conviction and sentence of death. Judgment affirmed. O’CONNOR, C.J., and PFEIFER and KENNEDY, JJ., concur. LANZINGER and FRENCH, JJ., concur in judgment only. O’NEILL, J., dissents. _________________ O’NEILL, J., dissenting. {¶ 311} Once again, I am compelled to dissent from this court’s affirmance of a death sentence. Here, the court places its imprimatur on the execution of an intellectually disabled man, despite the fact that the only evidence presented strongly tends to establish that the victim’s injury and death were unintended. {¶ 318} This is a terrible case, but it should not be a death-penalty case. I dissent.
