A Suspect on Death Row Scratching to prevent justice.

Ohio prisoner Darryl Durr is not a great guy

On January 31, 1988, at approximately 10:50 p.m., Norma Jean O’Nan and her husband returned to their home in Elyria and discovered the front door unlocked, the lights and television on, and their sixteen-year-old daughter, Angel Vincent, missing. Only twenty minutes earlier, Mrs. O’Nan had spoken with her daughter by telephone to learn that Angel’s girlfriend, Deborah Mullins, was at her home and that Deborah’s boyfriend, Darryl Durr, was expected to arrive later in the evening. That was the last chance Mrs. O’Nan would have to speak to her daughter alive.... On April 30, 1988, three boys noticed a foul odor coming from two orange traffic barrels while playing in Brookside Park. The barrels and been placed open end to open end, and were underneath a railroad tie. Upon separating the barrels, the boys discovered a severely decomposed female body that had been wrapped in a dirty old blanket. A portion of a leg was visible through a large hole in the blanket. A deputy coroner testified that the only clothing found on the victim was a pink sweater and a pair of white tennis shoes. The pink sweater had been pushed up well above the victim’s breast area. An initial external examination determined the body to be that of a young white female, who was in an advanced state of decomposition. The body was heavily infested with maggots and the body’s eyes and ears had been lost. There was also prominent evidence of animal activity about the inguinal and vulval regions of the body, and in and about the thighs. According to the deputy coroner, the decomposition was consistent with three months exposure. After examining the body, the deputy coroner concluded that the cause of death was homicidal violence. Since the body was so badly decomposed, the deputy coroner could not determine whether ligature marks, scrapes or tears indicating strangulation were present. There was no damage noted to the internal cartilaginous structures of the neck. The deputy coroner declined, however, to rule out strangulation as a cause of death since damage to these structures is not always present in young strangulation victims due to the flexibility of these structures. In No. 00-3353 Durr v. Mitchell Page 3 addition, because the body was so severely infested with bacteria, testing for the presence of acid phosphates and spermatozoa was inconclusive. In September, 1988, after Durr was arrested for two unrelated rapes, Deborah Mullins revealed her knowledge of Angel’s disappearance to the Cleveland Police Department. As the result of her information, an ankle X-ray obtained from Elyria Memorial Hospital, and dental records, the body discovered in Brookside Park was determined to be that of Angel Vincent. At trial, Deborah Mullins testified that on the evening Angel disappeared Deborah had asked Durr to drive to the house of one of Angel’s friends to retrieve a package of cigarettes for Angel. Durr agreed and left. Shortly thereafter, Durr returned to Deborah’s house and, instead of entering through the front door, began throwing stones at her upstairs bedroom window and blew his car horn for her to come out. Deborah and her baby, who had been fathered by Durr, left the house and entered Durr’s car where Durr brandished a knife toward both of them. As Durr was driving, Deborah heard noises from the back seat and after turning around discovered Angel bound on the rear floorboard. According to Deborah’s testimony, Angel was wearing black acid-washed denim jeans, a jean jacket, and tennis shoes when she was last seen in the back of Durr’s car. When Deborah asked Durr why Angel was bound in his car, Durr responded that he intended to “waste” her because “she would tell.” He never revealed just what Angel was going to tell. After threatening the life of both Deborah and his baby, Durr let Deborah out of his car. He returned to her home three or four hours later. Upon returning, Durr told Deborah that he had “wasted” Angel and that she should pack her things because they were leaving. Durr drove Deborah and their baby to his wife’s, Janice Durr’s, Cleveland apartment. After dropping Deborah and the baby off, Durr left with a duffle bag containing two shovels. When Durr returned, he was wet and covered with snow. Upon entering the room, Durr placed a ring and bracelet that belonged to Angel on a coffee table. As he was falling asleep, Durr told Deborah that he had strangled Angel with a dog chain until she “pissed, pooped and shit and made a few gurgling sounds,” took her body to a park, wrapped it in a blanket, placed it between two construction cones, and left her by some railroad tracks. Later that day or the next day, Durr burned a bag of clothing in the basement of Janice Durr’s apartment building and asked Deborah to model the black acid-washed jeans that Angel had worn on the evening of her abduction. Durr then drove Deborah, Janice Durr and his children to the west side of Cleveland where he burned another bag of items, and while driving from Cleveland toward Elyria, Durr threw Angel’s jean jacket out the car window. ...Following a jury trial, Durr was convicted of aggravated murder; kidnapping; aggravated robbery and rape. The trial court followed the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Durr to death.

Now that he is finally coming to his justice, his lawyers are tyring a unique appeal mehtod....he is alergic to anesthesia.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A condemned Ohio inmate who says he's allergic to anesthesia is undertaking what appears to be a unique legal maneuver, arguing that no one knows how his body will react if state officials are allowed next week to inject him with the one lethal drug they now use.

A doctor is studying what impact, if any, the allergy could have on the execution process after lawyers for Darryl Durr uncovered evidence of Durr's allergy in his 800-page prison medical record. Durr was sentenced to die for raping and strangling a 16-year-old girl in 1988.

"One of the things the Ohio Constitution guarantees is that he has a quick and painless execution," said defense attorney Kathleen McGarry.

I don't know who is the lower form of life...the turd murderer or his lawyer.

Hopefully he assumes room temperature on April 20th as scheduled
