Missouri’s Only Death Sentence Is Commuted
The Missouri Supreme Court commuted Edward Johnson’s death sentence to life imprisonment, ending the only state death sentence remaining after the 1972 Supreme Court ruling. Johnson, convicted in 1971 for the Halloween killings in St. Louis, had stayed on death row while others were commuted. The ruling cites the federal decision against nationwide capital punishment while noting Johnson’s case falls outside the current law.
