Tyrone Noling's 30-Year Fight for Innocence | Columbus News

Tyrone Noling, on Ohio’s death row for three decades, is fighting for his life in a high-stakes pardon hearing — he insists he’s innocent of the 1990 murders of elderly couple Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig. Backed by the Ohio Innocence Project with new evidence including recanted testimony and a former sheriff who now believes he’s guilty, Noling’s case has exploded into public consciousness, drawing celebrity support from Kim Kardashian, Hilarie Burton, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Unlike most death row inmates, Noling isn’t facing imminent execution — making this rare clemency review even more pivotal. The parole board’s recommendation will go to Governor Mike DeWine, whose views on capital punishment have shifted — he no longer sees it as a deterrent. A decision is expected by August 25th.
