"Justice Served: Missouri Man Set to Face Execution for 2002 Beating Death of 6-Year-Old Girl"

Johnny Johnson, a man convicted of abducting and beating 6-year-old Casey Williamson to death in 2002, is scheduled to be executed in Missouri. Johnson's attorneys argue that he is mentally incompetent, citing his schizophrenia and delusions. Despite appeals to block the execution, including a clemency request denied by Missouri Governor Mike Parson, the execution is set to proceed. Casey's family supports the execution, while Johnson's attorneys continue to question his competency. This would be the 16th execution in the U.S. this year.
