Justice Joseph T. Deters
Today, March 17, 2023, we remember the disastrous day, 30 years ago, when Jeffrey Wogenstahl entered death row. On March 17, 1993, Jeff received his sentence of death; his removal to death row followed. Throughout his long incarceration in prisons … Continue reading

A Tremendous Error
The Ohio Supreme Court has again rejected Jeffrey Wogenstahl’s claim that Ohio did not have jurisdiction to try him. The court’s decision,[i] announced last month, is mystifying. The state did not file a rebuttal of the points made by Jeff … Continue reading
Shifting Opinions
Twenty-three years ago, Jeffrey Wogenstahl was immersed in reading law books and writing his own appeal, because he felt that his legal representation at trial had been inadequate. There have been many changes since then. One that should gladden Jeff … Continue reading

It is a “dirty secret”, known by few, that the American death penalty system is “specifically engineered to ensure that those who are convicted stay convicted, guilty or not.”[i] This is how it works. Death sentences routinely result from poor defense … Continue reading
