Convict who killed 2 Missouri prison guards on 'emotional rollercoaster' as execution looms
Fox News
Michael Tisius, scheduled to be executed Tuesday night, is reportedly on an "emotional rollercoaster" as his fate remains in limbo as clemency bids are heard in state and federal court.
A clemency request before Republican Gov. Mike Parson focuses on several issues. Among them: Tisius was just 19 at the time of the killings; he had been neglected as a child; and a juror at his 2010 resentencing may have been illiterate — in violation of Missouri law. It's unclear when Parson will announce his decision. A message left Monday with his spokeswoman wasn’t immediately returned.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to halt the execution based on Tisius' age when the crime occurred. A federal judge last week stayed the execution over the claim that a juror was illiterate, but an appeals panel reinstated it. The Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled on that issue.
