Ohio Supreme Court makes its October monthly reservation for the state's death chamber

As detailed in this local AP article, the "Ohio Supreme Court has set an October execution date for a condemned killer who beat his girlfriend with a pipe, threw her in a river and stole $400 from her bank account."   As further noted in this short piece, the top Ohio court "has scheduled one execution per month through October, putting Ohio on pace to execute a record number of inmates this year."

But, as I noted in this post a few weeks ago, Ohio has over 175 murderers currently on the state's death row, which means that, even at a steady pace of one execution per month, the state would not be able to carry out the death sentence on all of its condemned killers until about 2025.  Consequently, I continue to wonder if or when the Ohio Supreme Court will consider scheduling more than just one execution per month (and if or when any Ohio officials to family members of murder victims will start urging the Ohio Supreme Court to pick up the pace).
