Nationwide and Ohio capital developments of note

StandDown Texas Project has lots of new death penalty posts, including this effective post reviewing "Coast to Coast Developments."  And, at Ohio Death Penalty Information, there are these two notable posts about Ohio developments:

• Poll shows strong support for Strickland reprieves
• Strickland restates he has no plans for Ohio execution moratorium

The mixed and nuanced (and confusing?) messages coming from Governor Strickland and Ohio polls reinforces my sense that Ohio is the state to watch as a bellweather for nationwide death penalty deveopment.
