Romell Broom (born 4 June 1956) is an American convicted of murder, kidnap and rape. He was convicted in 1984 of abducting and killing Tryna Middleton, age 14, who was walking home from a football game in East Cleveland, Ohio. ................
...................Aborted execution
Broom was scheduled to be executed on 15 September 2009. However, the executioners tried for two hours to maintain an IV line through which they could inject the lethal drugs, before Ohio Governor Ted Strickland issued a one-week reprieve. Broom's lawyers argue that his first execution attempt was cruel and unusual punishment, and that executing him would mean that his evidence would be "irretrievably lost" for their broader lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Ohio’s lethal injection procedure. U.S. District Court Judge Gregory L. Frost scheduled a 30 November 2009 hearing on the issues. As of May 2010, Broom was awaiting the outcome of an appeal.
================
il attend son exécution : les médecins n'ont pas trouvé ses veines alors qu'il essayaient de l'exécuter le 15 septembre 2009... (!)
là aussi c'est sa situation au moment du crime qui est intéressante : crime du 21/09/1984 un jour neutre mais 28 ans et 4 mois soit pleine période critique septennale des 28 ans.
