COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKRC) -- An Ohio death row inmate claims the state's lethal injection procedures are unconstitutional. Ronald Phillips gave videotaped testimony Friday during a hearing.  Phillips says lethal injection would be a cruel way to die for two reasons.  First prison doctors could not find veins in his arms, only in his hand.  Second, the state will use a new combination of drugs for the first time. Phillips is scheduled to die November 14th.
