Governor DeWine, you have long spoken about the need for public trust in Ohio’s criminal justice system. You have supported post-conviction DNA testing because it can clear people who were wrongly accused. As Governor, you have emphasized transparency, careful evidence handling, law-enforcement accountability, and the public’s confidence in the justice system. And, recently issued a public statement against the use of the death penalty in Ohio. Please note a case about Mr. Noling, which is in the news and on social media. His case gives you, Governor a chance to apply those principles where the stakes could not be higher. Save his life, grant Mr. Noling a full pardon.
