 Death penalty moratorium defeated in Missouri House JEFFERSON CITY — A week before Missouri’s first planned execution in over three years, the House this morning rejected a plea for a death penalty moratorium. The 95-64 vote followed an emotional debate in which legislators took turns arguing for crime victims and for those wrongly convicted of crimes. Rep. Bill Deeken, R-Jefferson City, asked that executions be delayed for two years while a commission studies whether the death penalty is administered fairly and properly. Deeken said the state needs to “make sure we aren’t putting someone to death who is not guilty.” Death penalty moratorium defeated in Missouri House | Political Fix | STLtoday
