Missouri plans to carry out its second execution of the year on Tuesday. The condemned inmate David Hosier is sentenced to death for two murders.
Missouri was planning to carry out its second execution of the year on Tuesday after Gov. Mike Parson denied a request for clemency filed by inmate David Hosier.Hosier, 69, has maintained his innocence in the double murder for which he was sentenced to death. He submitted a clemency petition in the wake of multiple prior appeals, including one that the Missouri Supreme Court rejected five years ago when it unanimously upheld the state's decision to execute him.
' Before the Gilpins' case, Hosier was convicted and sentenced to prison for assaulting and seriously injuring another woman. Hosier's defense attorneys have over the years tried to appeal the death sentence on the grounds that no physical evidence linked Hosier to the murders. 'No confession, no eyewitnesses, no fingerprints, and none of David's DNA or other personal effects were found at the crime scene,' they wrote in his 2019 appeal.
