Originally Published 2 months ago — by AP News
A Missouri man, Lance Shockley, is scheduled to be executed for the 2005 murder of State Trooper Carl Graham, with legal challenges over his execution and evidence testing ongoing. Shockley's attorneys argue his rights are violated and seek DNA testing that could exonerate him, but the state maintains the evidence is circumstantial. The execution is part of a busy night with another in Florida, and it marks Missouri's first execution of the year.
