ROCKY BARTON EXECUTED

Time of death: 10:27 AM

The Dayton Daily News has this update on the impending execution of Rocky Barton, entitled "Barton with family as execution nears."  AP has this.
"He appears to have fine veins," prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said after Wednesday's examination.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has this article, entitled "Stepdaughter to see execution," on the release from jail granted to Jamie Reising by the Warren County Prosecutor to enable her to view today's execution of Rocky Barton.

Excerpt:
The family thinks that witnessing the execution might provide closure for Jamie Reising, said Warren County Prosecutor Rachel A. Hutzel, who agreed to a legal motion by Reising's lawyer to temporarily release her from jail.
"She wants very much to go. And her family feels it may help her get her life in order and turn her life around if she has some closure with her mother," Hutzel said. "We have to prosecute her, but we have sympathy for her, too. She is a victim."
