State-Assisted Suicide of Herman Ashworth
Herman Ashworth had his suicide assisted by the people of Ohio on
September
27, 2005 in revenge for the murder of Daniel Barker.
More than 100 high school students from the Cleveland area chartered
THREE
BUSSES to get themselves down to the prison to be outside in silent
witness
and visible protest of the execution. It was reported that Governor
Taft
was "not pleased" at that news. It was great to see and hear the
passion
of these students -- after the
killing they say in a huge circle in the protest area for almost an
hour,
sharing reflections and planning for more action - a Cleveland to
Columbus
awareness-raising bike trip is in the works for the Spring!
