Governor Denies Clemency to Ohio Death Row Inmate

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland says he will not grant clemency to a death row inmate who's set to be executed Tuesday. In making his decision, Strickland went against the recommendation of the Ohio Parole Board. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles reports on why the Governor made this decision and what happens from this point.
