Ohio death row inmate Tyrone Noling gets a rare chance to ask parole board for a pardon
Noling’s lawyers say recanted witness accounts and other evidence point to other suspects, while the parole board will advise Gov. Mike DeWine.
- On Tuesday, death-row inmate Tyrone Noling presented evidence to the Ohio Parole Board seeking a full pardon for the 1990 murders of Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig, both 81, marking a rare clemency hearing for an Ohio death-row inmate.
- Authorities linked Noling to the Hartig murders when he was 18, and he received a death sentence in 1996 despite no physical evidence or murder weapon ever being found in the case.
- Former Portage County Sheriff Ken Howe, 83, testified supporting Noling's exoneration, while the defense presented recanted witness testimony and documentation identifying executed killer Dan Wilson as a potential suspect.
- Following the hearing, the Ohio Parole Board will deliberate in executive session and send its recommendation to Gov. Mike DeWine within six business days, with the Republican governor holding final authority to grant the pardon.
- Celebrity advocates Kim Kardashian, Hilarie Burton, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan support the exoneration effort, while DeWine previously called for abolishing capital punishment, stating he no longer views it as a deterrent to violent crime.
