Missouri Man Scheduled for Execution Despite Calls for Halt.
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 crime, neglect as a child, 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 illiteracy claim. Tisius' attorney says he is on an emotional roller coaster. Tisius would be the third Missouri man and the 12th nationally to be executed in 2023.
