List of people executed in Ohio
The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Ohio since capital punishment was resumed in the United States in 1976.[ 1]
All of the following people have been executed for murder since the Gregg v. Georgia decision. All 56 were executed by lethal injection .[ 2] However, any future execution will no longer be performed using this method, due to a ruling by Governor Mike DeWine in December 2020.[ 3] Notable persons executed in Ohio before the Gregg decision include Anna Marie Hahn .
