ST. LOUIS – 60 Missouri corrections officers are asking Governor Mike Parson to stop the execution of an inmate on death row at the Potosi Correctional Center.
FOX 2’s partners at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Brian Dorsey was convicted back in 2006 for the murders of his cousin and her husband. While in prison, Dorsey has reportedly served as the barber for some officers for the past 17 years.
Those officers are trying to get the governor to commute his sentence from death to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Dorsey is scheduled to die by lethal injection in April, which will make him the first person to be executed in Missouri in 2024.
