Reprieve for framed Lucasville Uprising defendant Keith Lamar

Keith Lamar is one of five prisoners on Ohio’s death row who were framed on murder charges after the 1993 Lucasville prison rebellion. When his legal appeals were exhausted, he was scheduled for execution – state-sponsored lynching – on Nov. 16, 2023. In mid-July, his execution was delayed until Jan. 13, 2027, giving Lamar and his supporters more years to fight for clemency.
