Board recommends killer of two be executed
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS - The Ohio Parole Board recommended Friday that Gov. Bob Taft refuse clemency for a man scheduled to be executed July 24 for killing two Akron University students in 1986.
The board, in a unanimous decision, said Richard W. Cooey continues to minimize his participation in his victims' deaths, despite his recent expression of remorse. The board also said Cooey had received proper representation at trial and during appeals.
Cooey filed an appeal Thursday in the 9th Ohio District Court of Appeals in Akron, saying he shouldn't be executed because he lacked effective legal representation.
