Jason Getsy 33, convicted of a murder in the 1995 death of a Hubbard, Ohio woman, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution in Lucasville at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Getsy was found guilt of shooting Ann Serafino twice in the head as her son John Serafino was shot 7 times and survived, in a murder-for-hire scheme resulting from a dispute over the ownership of a landscape business owned by the younger Serafino. John Santine, partner of John Serafino paid Getsy $5,000 to kill him and any witnesses to the murder.
The Ohio Parole Board voted for clemency in Getsy’s case last month by a 5-2 vote, but Ohio Governor Ted Strickland overruled the board vote. Late Monday the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request by Getsy’s attorneys for a stay of execution.
In 1992, Getsy was convicted of negligent homicide in the death of a 14 year-old friend while playing Russian roulette.
