Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer

Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey facing 'surgery without ...
Quick Glance: Missouri death row inmate facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer
  • The Missouri Supreme Court denied a request to halt the execution of Brian Dorsey, a death row inmate scheduled to be put to death through lethal injection, despite concerns raised by his legal team about the lack of anesthesia during a potential surgical procedure.

  • State law mandates the establishment of primary and intravenous lines for the lethal injection, but fails to specify the extent to which the execution team can intervene to locate a suitable vein.

  • Citing Dorsey's medical history and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and past IV drug use, his lawyers have highlighted the increased challenges in finding a viable vein without resorting to invasive procedures.

  • In addition to the appeals from numerous corrections officers urging Governor Mike Parson for clemency, leaders within the community have also expressed support for Dorsey.

Advocates 'Elated' as Biden DOJ Closes Gun Show Loophole
Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers
  • A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

  • President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

  • The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

  • Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.
