On Dec 19 Ohio courts followed up on the DA's request for an execution date for Keith LaMar (Bomani Shakur).
They set the date for Nov 16, 2023.
Keith hasn't made a public statement about this yet, according to his Facebook page.
"Friends, some of you will see/hear in the news that the Ohio Supreme
Court went ahead and scheduled Keith’s execution date yesterday (for
November 16, 2023). He found out last night when he called home, and
will be responding later today or tomorrow with a statement, once he
gets a chance to process it a bit. Thank you for all the love and
support."
The Lucasville Uprising was a rebellion against oppressive and racist policies at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville, OH. Nine inmates and one guard died during the uprising in April of 1993. Today, many people are serving time or condemned to death by the state of Ohio in relation to the uprising. We demand amnesty for all of these inmates. The conditions at SOCF were (and still are) intolerable and unconscionable.
