Man executed after clemency bid fails

A MAN convicted of murder during a $15 robbery a decade ago was executed in Ohio yesterday, the seventh in the state this year.

Adremy Dennis, 28, was pronounced dead at 10.10am at the state prison in Lucasville, Ohio, following an injection of lethal chemicals, prison officials said.

His was the 935th execution in the United States since the death penalty was restored in 1976.
