Ohio's Republican attorney general is backing a legislative effort that would bring nitrogen gas executions to the state to end a yearslong unofficial moratorium on the death penalty.

Bill would require adults convicted of killing a cop, first responder or military member to face death penalty or life in prison without parole.

Ohio's Republican Attorney General, Dave Yost, is backing a legislative proposal to introduce nitrogen gas executions, ending an unofficial moratorium on the death penalty.

Attorney General Dave Yost said adding nitrogen gas as an execution alternative in Ohio could end an unofficial death penalty moratorium that Republican Gov. Mike DeWine declared in 2020.
