Missouri Supreme Court Vacates Death Sentence for Edward Johnson
The Missouri Supreme Court replaced Edward Johnson's death sentence with life in prison after unanimously rejecting his appeal of a 1969 murder conviction. The court ruled the death penalty cannot be carried out under the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Johnson, involved in the Halloween killings at Mrs Rohs's St Louis apartment, is no longer subject to capital punishment.
