Tyrone Noling, who has spent 30 years on death row for the 1990 murders of Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig, had a rare clemency hearing before the United States — Parole board on Tuesday. Noling maintains his innocence, and his advocates, including the Ohio Innocence Project, presented evidence including recanted witness testimony, changed stances by the former sheriff and a juror, and clues pointing to Daniel Wilson, an executed killer, as the possible perpetrator. The hearing was the first for an United States — Ohio death row inmate since 2020. The parole board will issue a recommendation to Governor Mike DeWine, who has the final say. DeWine has called for abolishing the death penalty. Noling seeks a full pardon and release, and has said he would not accept a commutation to life without parole. The case has drawn celebrity support from Kim Kardashian, Hilarie Burton, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
