"Supreme Court Denies Appeal as Missouri Death Row Inmate Faces Imminent Execution"

Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey, convicted of killing his cousin and her husband, awaits execution pending two appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court, with one focusing on his trial lawyers' conflict of interest and the other on his good behavior in prison. Dorsey's case has raised concerns about Missouri's execution protocol, including the lack of provision for anesthetics, as he is obese and diabetic. Despite a settlement to limit the risk of extreme pain during execution, Dorsey's fate remains uncertain.
