TL;DR Summary

Michael Tisius, a man on Missouri's death row, is set to be executed for killing two jailers in 2000. His attorney has filed a clemency request, citing Tisius' age at the time of the killings, his neglected childhood, and a possibly illiterate juror. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to halt the execution based on Tisius' age, but has not yet ruled on the juror issue. Tisius' attorney says he is on an emotional roller coaster due to the appeals. Missouri Governor Mike Parsons confirmed that the sentence would be carried out.
