Man hangs himself few days before execution

CLEVELAND -- Convicted murderer Billy Slagle, who was scheduled to be executed Aug. 7 for killing a Cleveland woman in 1987, was found hanged in his cell this morning, authorities said.

Slagle, now 44, murdered his 40-year-old neighbor Mari Ann Pope in her Clinton Avenue home during a burglary. He stabbed Pope 17 times with a pair of scissors as two children she was babysitting watched.

A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction said Slagle was found just after 5 a.m. and was pronounced dead about an hour later. The department is conducting a review of the apparent suicide and no further details are available, she said.

Last month, Gov. John Kasich denied Slagle clemency after the Ohio Parole Board recommended Slagle's execution.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty called on the parole board to commute Slagle's sentence to life in prison.

I wish he'd done it sooner.

He certainly could have saved the state all the money spent to house him all these years. But how strange to prefer hanging yourself over being put to sleep.
