Missouri Governor Refuses Clemency and Executes Inmate Despite Appeals.
TL;DR Summary
Missouri Governor Mike Parson has refused to intervene in the execution of Michael Tisius, who was convicted of murdering two jail guards in 2000. Several jurors who had voted for the death penalty have since said they believe life imprisonment was more appropriate. Tisius's lawyers argued that another juror was unable to read, a requirement under Missouri law for jury service. The US Supreme Court denied a stay of execution, and Tisius's legal appeals have been exhausted. The execution is expected to proceed on Tuesday.
