Missouri carried out its second execution of the year on Tuesday, after Gov. Mike Parson dismissed convict David Hosier’s clemency petition.<\/p>\nMissouri carried out its second execution of the year on Tuesday, after Gov. Mike Parson dismissed convict David Hosier’s clemency petition.<\/p>\n
Hosier was pronounced dead at 6:11 p.m. local time at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic, and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri, according to a correctional official. Hosier, 69, has claimed innocence in the double murder for which he was sentenced to death.<\/p>\n
He filed a clemency petition following several previous appeals, including one that the Missouri Supreme Court denied five years ago when it unanimously supported the state’s decision to execute him.<\/p>\n
However, the governor ultimately has the option to commute Hosier’s sentence, postpone his execution, or not, and some MPs have recent days have urged Parson to save his life.<\/p>\n
Hosier was sentenced to death in Missouri in 2013 after being found guilty of capital murder in the 2009 deaths of Angela and Rodney Gilpin at their Jefferson City home.<\/p>\n
The governor, who has presided over ten executions since taking office, claimed Hosier killed the couple “in a jealous rage,” mirroring the prosecution’s argument in his criminal trial.<\/p>\n
Hosier was convicted of fatally shooting the Gilpins during an armed burglary after previously dating Angela Gilpin. She and her husband were slain about a month after Angela Gilpin quit her affair with Hosier, according to court records.<\/p>\n
“David Hosier took Ms. Angela Gilpin’s life because he couldn’t accept the end of their romantic relationship. “He shows no remorse for his senseless violence,” Parson said in a statement Monday, announcing that Hosier’s clemency appeal had been refused.<\/p>\n
“For these horrible acts, Hosier received the maximum legal sentence. I can’t imagine how much agony Angela and Rodney’s loved ones are going through, but I hope that carrying out Hosier’s sentence in accordance with the Court’s judgment provides them some closure.”<\/p>\n
