An inmate convicted of strangling his cellmate in November 2001 at Mansfield Correctional Institution, was sentenced to die.
Christopher Newton, 33, got the maximum sentence for aggravated murder because Jason Brewer had no chance to escape him in the cell, Richland County Common Pleas Judge James Henson said.
But the 3-judge panel said the tougher penalty is needed to protect inmates.
