COLUMBUS, Ohio | Parole board to hear former juror’s death sentence regrets
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Parole Board on Thursday planned to hear from a juror who recommended that a convicted killer be sentenced to death, but now believes he should be spared.
At issue is the case of death row inmate Raymond Tibbetts, who is set to die in October for killing Fred Hicks at Hicks’ Cincinnati home in 1997.
After the parole board voted 11-1 last year against mercy for Tibbetts, ex-juror Ross Geiger came forward and said jurors were not given enough information about Tibbetts’ tough childhood.
