Mike DeWine reverses position on capital punishment: ‘Abolish the death penalty’

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has taken a significant stance by calling for the abolition of the death penalty in his state, marking a dramatic shift from his long-held support for capital punishment. DeWine, who helped draft the state's death penalty law over 40 years ago, cited a loss of moral justification as the reason for his change in position.
