MISSOURI----impending execution

A motion has been filed to stay the execution of EarlForrest. The motion 
requests the Court issue a stay on grounds that the Missouri Department of
Corrections (DOC) knowingly and deliberately violated the Sunshine Law. 
Additionally, there is evidence which suggests that Missouri officials violated 
state procedures, Missouri State Auditor’s
recommendations, and federal tax laws in the manner in which they obtain lethal 
injection drugs from an unknown supplier. We are awaiting updates.
