Ohio to execute rapist who strangled teen in 1988

The Associated Press • April 20, 2010

 

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A serial rapist convicted of strangling a 16-year-old girl is facing execution despite concerns by his attorneys that he could be violently allergic to the anesthetic Ohio uses to put inmates to death. The execution is scheduled for 10 a.m.

Darryl Durr has failed to persuade multiple federal courts to delay his Tuesday execution.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the case. The high court also declined to intervene in a separate lawsuit that requested DNA testing on a necklace found on the victim.

Durr, 46, says he is innocent and that he didn't receive a fair trial. He is scheduled to die by lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, which houses the state's death chamber.

In what appeared to be an unusual legal maneuver, Durr's lawyers said last week they uncovered evidence of Durr's allergy in his 800-page prison medical record. But U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost said Durr waited too long to raise the issue, then relied mainly on speculation to ask for time to investigate.

Durr kidnapped 16-year-old Angel Vincent from her home in Elyria on Jan. 31, 1988, while her mother and stepfather were away at a Super Bowl party, prosecutors said. He raped and strangled her with a dog chain and hid her body inside two orange traffic barrels placed end-to-end in a Cleveland park.

Prosecutors said Durr was obsessed with the girl.

Durr, then 24, had fathered a child with a teenage girlfriend who lived down the street from Vincent. Durr named his newborn daughter "Angel," and made his girlfriend model the jeans he had removed from his victim the night she was abducted, prosecutors said.

Three months later, several boys playing in the park noticed a foul odor and found Angel Vincent's decomposed body inside the traffic barrels.

The case remained unsolved until Durr was arrested on two unrelated rapes in September 1998. His girlfriend, Deborah Mullins, came forward and told authorities that Durr had picked her up the night Vincent disappeared. Vincent was tied up in the back of the vehicle, Mullins said, and Durr said he was going to "waste" her.

Durr dropped her off at an apartment, Mullins said, then returned about four hours later and placed Vincent's ring and bracelet on a coffee table. Durr boasted that he had strangled Vincent, Mullins said.

He was convicted largely on the testimony of Mullins, who said she waited months to tell police about the murder out of fear that Durr would harm her. Bacteria in Vincent's decomposed body made tests for sperm and other forensic evidence inconclusive, according to a state clemency report.

Defense attorneys questioned Mullins' credibility. But prosecutors said Mullins knew facts about the case that she could not have known without Durr telling her, including the location of Vincent's body.

Durr pleaded guilty to the other rapes, including one in which an officer saw him attacking a girl in a car just a few feet from where he had dumped Vincent in the park, authorities said.

LUCASVILLE, Ohio — The state of Ohio has executed Darryl Durr of Elyria, who was convicted of raping and strangling a 16-year-old girl in 1988.

Durr died by injection at 10:36 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.

In the hours before his execution, Durr received a few visitors -- his lawyers, a spiritual adviser and a friend -- and spoke to a woman he calls his wife several times on the phone, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation Correction Spokeswoman Julie Walburn said at a media briefing this morning.

Prison staff said Durr, 46, was cooperative but increasingly anxious before the execution, Walburn said. Durr declined to eat or drink in observance of a religious fast since arriving at the prison on Monday.

The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his last-minute attempts to halt the execution Monday. Gov. Ted Strickland denied Durr clemency, and the U.S. Supreme Court late Monday refused to hear his case.

Durr had been seeking DNA testing of a necklace belonging to the victim, said his lawyer, Dennis Sipe. Durr also argued, in separate lawsuits, that the state cannot administer the drugs used in the lethal injection without a prescription, and that he is allergic to anesthesia.

Durr, 46, was the 37th Ohio inmate executed at the prison's "Death House" in Lucasville since 1999. He was put on death row for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Angel Vincent, 16, of Elyria.

Durr strangled Angel with a dog chain on Jan. 31 or Feb.1 and hid her body inside two construction cones, placed end to end, in a ravine near Denison Avenue and Fulton Road. Boys playing in the area discovered Angel's body three months later.

Durr had been dating and living with Angel's friend and neighbor, Deborah Mullins, who was a year or two older than Angel.

Angel was home alone the night of Jan. 31 when she asked Mullins to go to another girlfriend's house to get her jean jacket containing a pack of cigarettes. Mullins testified in court that she went back to her home two doors down and told Durr, who was 24 at the time, to get the cigarettes.

Durr returned 15 minutes later and began throwing rocks at Mullins' window and honking his car horn. Mullins and the baby she had with Durr got into his car, and Mullins saw Angel tied up in the back. Durr pulled a knife on Mullins and their baby and said he was going to kill Angel "so she wouldn't tell," Mullins testified.

After a short drive, Durr dropped Mullins back off at their home. He returned three to four hours later without Angel. The teenager was presumed missing until Mullins talked to police eight months later, after Durr was arrested for raping two other girls, 14 and 18.

Durr's history of violence -- at 18, he stabbed a woman in the stomach during an argument over $2 worth of gas -- is one reason the Ohio Adult Parole Authority in September unanimously recommended that Strickland deny clemency.

No motive for the killing was offered in court, but Angel's mother, Norma Godsey, later told the parole board that Durr was obsessed with her daughter.

Durr, however, told the parole board that he never left Mullins' house when she asked him to get Angel's cigarettes. He also denied raping the other two teenagers, even though he pleaded guilty to those crimes. There was no physical evidence used against Durr in court because Angel's body was decomposed.

Looks like he had one mighty allergic reaction to all that sodium pentothal...

[AlexFromRomania]

   Well done Ohio. I will drink some whisky...to celebrate...and for Angel's family/friends.

 EDIT: Someone was fast moving this to the graveyard . Good job!

"Mullins and the baby she had with Durr got into his car, and Mullins saw Angel tied up in the back. Durr pulled a knife on Mullins and their baby and said he was going to kill Angel "so she wouldn't tell," Mullins testified."

Question:  He brought the ring and bracelet back to the girl friend's apartment, but what did he do with the baby, in the meantime?

What happened to the baby?  Is it still alive?  Where is it?  Who took care of it?

Justice has been served for Ms Vincent and her family. Rip!!

 LUCASVILLE, Ohio - As his victim's mother watched, Darryl Durr was executed this morning for abducting and murdering 16-year-old Angel Vincent of Elyria.

Durr, 46, was pronounced dead at 10:36 a.m. after being injected with a single, large dose of thiopental sodium, a powerful anesthetic.

Durr's legal team threw up a flurry of last-minute appeals, claiming he might have a severe allergic reaction to the killing drug and that it has not been approved for executions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio filed a suit as well, arguing that Durr was illegally prevented from obtaining a DNA test on the dead girl's necklace that could have produced evidence showing he was not guilty of the crime.

State and federal courts rejected all the appeals, however, clearing the way for Durr's execution - Ohio's fourth in as many months and 37th since 1999.

Gov. Ted Strickland rejected Durr's clemency request yesterday.

The condemned man contended to the end that he was innocent not only of killing Vincent, but of committing rapes of other young women with which he was also charged.

Shortly after the chemicals began flowing at 10:25 a.m., Durr raised his head off the lethal-injection table and grimaced. His head then fell back, he yawned widely and his chest convulsed. He seemed to be gulping for air, and his face twitched. Shortly after 10:30 he stopped moving.

In his last statement, Durr said, "To the Vincent family, who are here I believe, and believe I killed your daughter, I'm truly sorry you feel that way. Having felt that way myself the last few years I can empathize."

"I had hoped the DNA testing would put to rest that I did not kill your daughter, but that's not going to happen."

To his mother, who did not attend the execution, he said, "I want to make you proud, mom. I go out in peace."

He said of his common-law wife, "I'll see her in the next life."

As soon as death was declared at 10:36 a.m., Wesley Brewer, an uncle of the slain girl, said to the victim's mother, Norma Godsey, "That son of a bitch is dead. It was too serene. I'd rather have seen him die in the electric chair for what he did to your daughter."

Godsey, who apparently thought the killer's mother was present, tried to quiet Brewer. She said, "I'm a mother, I understand what she's going through now."

Godsey, who was on oxygen, wheezed and sobbed throughout the exection. As she was leaving, she sighed and said, "Oh, I'm so glad."

Courts records said Vincent disappeared from her home in Elyria on Jan. 31, 1988. Earlier that evening, the girl spoke with her mother by telephone, telling her that her friend, Deborah Mullins, was with her, and that Mullins' boyfriend, Durr, was coming to the house.

She was never seen alive again.

About three months later, three boys playing in Brookside Park found the girl's body wrapped in a blanket inside two orange barrels placed open end to end. The body was so badly decomposed that the coroner could not accurately determine the cause of death.

Durr was charged with Vincent's death in Sept. 1988 after being arrested for raping two other young women.

Mullins testified against her former boyfriend, who is the father of her daughter, also named Angel. She said she saw Vincent bound and gagged in Durr's car. He later told Mullins that he "wasted" the girl, choking her to death with her dog-tag necklace.

Durr burned some of Vincent's clothes and threw away the others, Mullins testified.

Ohio executes murderer of teen

By the CNN Wire Staff
April 20, 2010 -- Updated 1521 GMT (2321 HKT)

(CNN) -- An Ohio death row inmate was executed Tuesday for the 1988 murder of a 16-year-old girl, officials said.

Darryl Durr, 46, was pronounced dead at 10:36 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. He was executed by lethal injection for killing 16-year-old Angel Vincent in 1988.

Vincent, a friend of Durr's girlfriend at the time, was abducted from her Elyria, Ohio, home on January 31, 1988. Her body was found nearly three months later, stuffed into two traffic barrels placed together at a park, according to an account of the case given by the Ohio Supreme Court in a 1991 decision and cited by the Ohio Parole Board.

Durr's girlfriend at first told Vincent's mother that the girl must have run away. She came forward after Durr was arrested for two unrelated rapes in September 1988 and told police she knew Durr had abducted and killed Vincent, according to the parole board. She said she had been afraid to speak out because he had threatened her life and that of her child.

Durr did not request a special last meal Monday night but had a dinner served to other prisoners -- beef and noodles, greens, cauliflower, peaches, apple sauce, white bread and Kool-Aid, according to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. However, Durr did not eat the meal, the facility said.

Interviewed by the parole board in 2009, Durr said that "he wished to convey his apologies to the victims for their tragic loss" but maintained his innocence in Vincent's death. The board -- in a 7-0 vote -- denied Durr's clemency request.

Durr was one of two Ohio death row inmates whom Gov. Ted Strickland granted temporary reprieves in October amid confusion over capital punishment in the state. The moves came after the botched execution attempt of Romell Broom in September, which raised questions about the state's lethal injection procedure. Technicians tried without success for two hours on September 15 to find suitable veins on Broom to insert the deadly chemical cocktail.

Ohio switched to a new one-drug method of lethal injection and began using it in December. The method had never been tried on U.S. death row inmates. It relies on a single dose of sodium thiopental injected into a vein.







Justice served  HONOR AND RESPECT TO ANGEL AND HER FAMILY
