Spaulding's Execution Postponed
The Ohio Supreme Court stayed Dawud El Spaulding's execution, that was scheduled for 2021, pending appeals.
Spaulding was sentenced to death for the 2011 killings of his ex-girlfriend Erica Singleton, 28, and Earnest Thomas, 31, of Akron.
At the time of her murder, Singleton had a protection order against Spaulding, who had stalked and terrorized the woman before killing her and her boyfriend, Thomas.

Steven Cepec was sentenced to death in the 2010 murder of a Chatham Township man.
The appeals will be heard next Tuesday and Wednesday by the Ohio Supreme Court.
