Gov. Mike DeWine delays 3 more executions amid drug shortage. The Republican governor's latest warrants of reprieve were issued for Romell Broom, James Hanna, and Douglas Coley. The inmates were scheduled to die in June, July and August, respectively. DeWine moved Broom's execution to March 2022, Hanna's to May 2022 and Coley's to July 2022. DeWine attributed the need for the reprieves to the state's ongoing inability to obtain drugs from pharmaceutical companies. DeWine has said for months he is concerned that drug companies — which oppose the use of their drugs in executions — could pull pharmaceuticals from state hospitals to punish Ohio if it did secure their drugs and use them for lethal injection.
