Missouri Supreme Courts say NO to Koster
Yesterday, the MO Supreme Court declined to set execution dates for six death row inmates in response to a May 2012 request by Attorney General Chris Koster. The Court says it is “premature” to set dates until the courts decide if Missouri ’s new execution method that uses propofol is constitutional. This is not a radical move by the Court; it is consistent with the process of not setting dates when there is pending litigation.
