Ohio Supreme Court Denies Wogenstahl Appeal
News summary

The Ohio Supreme Court has denied Jeffrey Wogenstahl's request to reopen his death row appeal for the 1993 murder of 10-year-old Amber Garrett, ruling that he failed to raise constitutional issues in a timely manner. Wogenstahl's attorneys argued that the prosecution did not prove the murder occurred in Ohio, but the court upheld the law allowing for jurisdiction in such cases. Meanwhile, the Mississippi Supreme Court rejected Richard Gerald Jordan's appeal for post-conviction relief regarding his 1976 conviction for kidnapping and murdering Edwina Marter, citing prior rulings and the passage of time. Jordan, now 78, has been on death row since his sentence was reinstated in 1998. Both cases illustrate ongoing legal battles around death row inmates' rights and appeal processes. The Ohio ruling emphasized the need for timely legal challenges, while the Mississippi court highlighted the finality of long-standing convictions.
