Ohio death row inmate Tyrone Noling gets a rare chance to ask parole board for a pardon
Noling’s lawyers say recanted witness accounts and other evidence point to other suspects, while the parole board will advise Gov. Mike DeWine.
- On Tuesday, death-row inmate Tyrone Noling presented new evidence to the Ohio Parole Board seeking a full pardon for the 1990 murders of Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig, marking the first clemency hearing for an Ohio death-row inmate since 2020.
- Authorities linked Noling to the Hartig murders when he was 18, and he received a death sentence in 1996 despite no physical evidence or murder weapon being found tying him to the crime.
- Former Portage County Sheriff Ken Howe, 83, testified supporting Noling's exoneration, while documentation identifies executed killer Dan Wilson as a potential suspect and three witnesses aged 14, 15, and 16 have recanted their testimony.
- Following the hearing, the board will deliberate in executive session and send its recommendation to Gov. Mike DeWine within six business days, with the Republican governor holding final authority over the pardon decision.
- Celebrity advocates Kim Kardashian, Hilarie Burton, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan support the exoneration effort, while DeWine called in June for abolishing capital punishment, stating he no longer views it as a deterrent to violent crime.
