The trial court first found that the second and third conditions to the resumption of executions contained in the Agreement had not been satisfied based on the undisputed evidence showing that (1) normal legal visitation and normal visitation at Georgia prisons ha[d] not resumed [in] that the [DOC] continue[d] to impose significant limitations on visitation and (2) children under the age of five still [we]re not eligible for any COVID-19 vaccine and, therefore, the vaccine [wa]s not available to all members of the public.

Provide appointed counsel services that are consistent with the best practices of the legal profession. The trial court rejected this argument, finding that, in order to make its substantial compliance argument, the State must contort the plain language of the Agreement, which [its] own representatives drafted..

See Ohio Adult Parole Auth. The expectation is that participants spend much of the workshop on their feet practicing their advocacy skills.
