MISSOURI----impending execution
A motion has been filed to stay the execution of EarlForrest. The motion
requests the Court issue a stay on grounds that the Missouri Department of
Corrections (DOC) knowingly and deliberately violated the Sunshine Law.
Additionally, there is evidence which suggests that Missouri officials violated
state procedures, Missouri State Auditor’s
recommendations, and federal tax laws in the manner in which they obtain lethal
injection drugs from an unknown supplier. We are awaiting updates.
What You Can Do

letter, mailing it to
Rm 216, State Capitol, Jefferson City MO 65101/faxing it to 573-751-1495;
