Execution stayed in Missouri for mental competence ruling
The execution of Elroy Preston, 43, scheduled for 12:01 a.m. Wednesday at Potosi Correctional Center, was stayed after Corrections Director Dora Schriro asked the Washington County Court to determine his mental competence. Governor Mel Carnahan issued the stay pending a competency hearing amid concerns of possible mental disease or defect. Preston was condemned for the 1981 murder of Willie Richardson and Betty Klein in St. Louis, a crime marked by him dipping their bloodied chicken in their blood and eating it.
