The family of a Trumbull County woman, who was brutally raped and murdered, may finally get the justice they've been waiting on.
Tuesday, a federal judged denied her killer's claims that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.
Kenneth Biros was convicted of the 1991 rape, murder and dismemberment of 22 year old Tammy Engstrom of Hubbard. Her body parts were spread across Ohio and Pennsylvania. Biros was set to be executed in March of 2006 but it was delayed after Biros filed an appeal.
The judge says Biros failed to demonstrate that he would experience severe pain under the process of lethal injection.
