A trial to challenge Ohio's death penalty got underway Monday in U.S. District Court.
The proceedings are part of condemned killer, Kenneth Biros' challenge, of the state's lethal injection process. Biros says some of the drugs used will cause a painful death. The state says there's little evidence of that. Testimony is underway to determine whether Biros can proceed with a full-blown constitutional challenge of Ohio's execution procedures.
Biros was sentenced to die in 1991 for murdering and dismembering 22 year old Tami Engstrom of Brookfield. He later spread parts of her body in Pennsylvania.
