A Missouri man has been executed for the 1998 fatal stabbing of a woman despite calls by her family and the prosecutor’s office that put him on death row to let him serve out the rest of his life in prison.
“Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in a statement.
Leave it to the south (Missouri is south-adjacent) to inflict the greatest cruelty. Doesn’t matter if you did it. You need to die.
