The Ohio Parole Board had unanimously recommended against clemency for Reginald Brooks, the man who was convicted of killing his three sons (ages 17,15, and 11) in Cleveland back in 1982. Brooks had marital problems. His lawyers say he also had mental illnesses that caused him to commit the crime then flee to Las Vegas. But the parole board didn’t agree that Brooks should be granted clemency due to his mental state at the time. And Governor Kasich doesn’t either. He’s denied clemency for Brooks. So barring any further court intervention, Brooks is scheduled to be given a lethal injection Tuesday.
