Abdul Awkal, Gawker Death Row Correspondent, Ruled Mentally Unfit for Execution
Hamilton Nolan · 06/15/12 02:26PMLast week, we brought you a letter from Ohio Death Row inmate Abdul Awkal. He was scheduled to die earlier this month for the 1992 murders of his wife and brother-in-law. That execution date was postponed two weeks in order to mentally evaluate Awkal. Today, a judge ruled that he is not mentally competent to be executed.
