Board rejects mercy for condemned Ohio killer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio parole board has unanimously rejected a plea for mercy from a condemned man who fatally shot an adult bookstore security guard in northeast Ohio. Prosecutors contend Treesh intentionally murdered Dupree and tried to kill others, including police officers in pursuit, after a three-week spree of increasingly violent crimes, including a killing at a Michigan video store two days before the Ohio slaying.
