TOLEDO, Ohio - The mother of a condemned inmate whose execution took an hour longer than is typical sued the head of Ohios prisons on Monday.
It took almost 90 minutes to carry out the execution of Joseph Clark in May 2006. The lawsuit, filed in a Cincinnati federal court, said the execution amounted to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment. Executions last about 20 minutes on average.
