"Missouri Governor Denies Clemency for Brian Dorsey, Set for Execution Despite Advocates' Pleas"

Missouri is set to execute Brian Dorsey, who murdered his cousin and her husband in 2006, despite his request for clemency. Dorsey had claimed drug dealers were after him, and his cousin and her husband had taken him in for the night. Despite appeals citing inadequate defense and drug-induced psychosis, the state Supreme Court affirmed his sentence. Some corrections officers and family members have opposed the execution, but it is scheduled to take place on Tuesday.
