"Missouri Governor Denies Clemency for Brian Dorsey Despite Groundswell of Support"

Brian Dorsey, convicted of killing his cousin and her husband, is scheduled for execution in Missouri, with pending appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court. His trial lawyers' conflict of interest and his record of good behavior in prison are cited as reasons to spare his life. Dozens of prison guards and a former judge have vouched for his rehabilitation, while concerns about Missouri's execution protocol, particularly for an obese, diabetic, former intravenous drug user like Dorsey, have been raised.
