The OTSE E-Group is for anyone interested in abolition of the death penalty in Ohio. Anyone in the group may share news about Ohio capital punishment legislation, Ohio death penalty cases and upcoming events. People looking for information, resources and ideas of strategies can also post questions to the group which can be answered by anyone else in the group. This group is sponsored by Ohioans to Stop Executions http://www.otse.org

There is a ton of information about the death penalty available on the Internet. We ask that members of this group not cross-post items from other lists unless they are specifically about Ohio. If you find a useful web site or another death penalty mailing list or listserv which you think might be of interest to others on the list, please send a message to the OTSE group telling others where to find this resource rather than simply forwarding messages from another group.

Please remember that this is a public mailing list to which anyone may sign up. Please do not disclose any information (e.g., about Ohio death row prisoners0 which is not public information. Feel free to invit others to join this group. The information about how to subscribe and unsubscribe appears on every message sent from this group so you can simply forward any message from this group to others who might be interested and encourage them to follow the instructions to subscribe.

This list can be a valuable tool for sharing information and ideas across the state. Its success depends on its members making use of it. We hope that everyone will take part in the dialogue.
