Ohio 88

Capital punishment has been a part of Ohio’s justice system since early in the state’s history. From 1803, when Ohio became a state, until 1885, executions were carried out by public hanging in the county where the crime was committed. In February of 2002, Ohio's 105-year-old electric chair AKA "Old Sparky" was unplugged. At this point in time, it hadn't been used for 39 years! It was transferred to the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville until the Ohio Historical Society decides what to do with it. So, what happened to Old Sparky?

In part 2 of this bonus episode, Heather is joined yet again by the amazing Karen to tell you all about how the death penalty in Ohio led to Old Sparky’s birth and demise. If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet, please stop and go back to part 1 to obtain the full understanding. Part 2 has more information about the urban legend(s) surrounding Old Sparky as well as some pretty interesting historical information and pop culture references.

Capital punishment has been a part of Ohio’s justice system since early in the state’s history. From 1803, when Ohio became a state, until 1885, executions were carried out by public hanging in the county where the crime was committed. In 1885, the legislature enacted a law that required executions to be carried out at the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus. The first person to be executed at the Ohio Penitentiary was Valentine Wagner, age 56.

In part 1 of this bonus episode, Heather is joined by Karen to tell you about the death penalty in Ohio and the history behind it. Yes, there are some side stories as well but it’s all relevant and leads you directly into part 2 of this bonus episode.

Before jumping into the case, I wanted to first say that this episode is going to be a bit different than you’re used to.  Normally, I will focus on one county in Ohio...but for this one, I will discuss a duo of criminals who traveled across 6 states and multiple counties within Ohio to commit their gruesome crimes.  I will tell you, before delving into the case, that listener discretion is advised.  I will be discussing their crimes, some in detail, and some involving children. 
I think that this case is important to share though as there are so many moving parts and layers to it.  I will discuss the death penalty pretty heavily as well, so I wanted to warn you ahead of time about that. 
Some of the Ohio cities mentioned in this case are Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati, and Norwood.  These cities are located in the following counties; Lucas County, Montgomery County, and Hamilton County. 
This is the case of murderous lovers; Alton Coleman & Debra Brown.
