Alton Coleman, 46, who was sentenced to death in 3 states for a 1984 crime spree, was executed by injection. As witnesses watched in person and on closed circuit television, Coleman was put to death at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville for beating Marlene Walters to death. The time of death was 10:13 a.m. Coleman was the only person currently under a death sentence in 3 states: Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. He was suspected in as many as 8 deaths, plus numerous robberies, rapes and kidnappings during the 5-state spree with his girlfriend, Debra Denise Brown. Because of the number of victims, Ohio prison officials decided for the first time to broadcast an execution via closed circuit to another prison room to accommodate additional witnesses. Coleman becomes the 2nd condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Ohio.
