Inmate to die for burning woman to death in trunk

Daniel Wilson let Lutz out briefly before he ordered her back in the trunk, set the gas tank on fire and left her to die.

It was the second time Wilson walked away from someone who would die as a result of his actions.

Wilson, now 39, faces execution Wednesday for Lutz' 1991 death in Elyria, west of Cleveland.

Wilson has asked Gov. Ted Strickland for mercy, although the Ohio Parole Board has recommended that Strickland not grant clemency.

The Ohio Supreme Court on Friday rejected Wilson's latest request to delay his execution.

Events leading to Lutz's death began May 3, 1991, when she went with an old boyfriend and Wilson, whom she had recently met, to the Empire Tavern in Elyria.

If you don’t support Take Back Toledo, you are a parasite, coward & the Fairness Doctrine

I debated if I was going to include Michael Miller’s column in this week’s Toledo Free Press entitled, Recall to Arms as a part of the weekly summary I do on what’s in the Toledo Free Press or post about it as a stand alone post. (Yes, the weekly review is still coming, just a bit later today.) Then I saw the article in the Blade where Wilson is quoted and saw his response to Michael Miller’s column.

Back in early January, I noticed Brian Wilson had written a post on the Take Back Toledo forum where he called Retired/”fixed income” seniors, unemployed/welfare/low wage earners; “parasites” and those like him, “producers” claiming that the “producers” were outnumbered by the “parasites” by a two to one margin.
