A condemned child killer who has abandoned his remaining appeals asked Monday for the chance to donate his organs to his ailing mother and sister either before or after his execution this week, SIA reports quoting CBS News.
The request by Ronald Phillips to donate a kidney and his heart is not a delay tactic, but rather an attempt to make a final gesture for good, according to his public defender.
"It is our sincere hope that the state of Ohio will do the right thing to ensure that as many people as possible will benefit from the gift of life that Ron is so generously willing to bestow as his own life approaches its end," attorney Lisa Lagos said in an interview.
Ohio prisons agency spokeswoman JoEllen Smith declined to comment.
Phillips would also be willing to donate organs to other individuals if it's not possible to help his relatives, his attorneys said in a Monday letter to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
