Death row inmate won't seek delay of execution
A death row inmate who said at trial that he enjoyed killing his victims
likely won't pursue appeals that could postpone his Aug. 8 execution, his
lawyer said.
The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to reconsider its affirmation
of Darrell Ferguson's conviction and sentence in the stabbing and beating
deaths of Thomas King and Arlie and Mae Fugate of Dayton in 2001.
King, 61, was killed Dec. 26, 2001. Arlie Fugate, 68, who had cancer, and
his wife, Mae, 69, were killed the next day.
Ferguson, 28, has decided not to pursue appeals available to him in
federal court, said Gary Crim, his lawyer.
