Convicted double murderer executed in Missouri

Brian Dorsey, 52, was pronounced dead at 6.11pm Central Time following lethal injection for the 2006 murders of Sarah Bonnie, 25, and her husband Ben Bonnie, 28, in New Bloomfield, Missouri.

"Brian Dorsey committed the offense during a drug-induced psychosis," they said."During Mr. Dorsey's many years on death row, removed from the circumstances that led to his psychosis, he has been rehabilitated." "Generally, we believe in the use of capital punishment," the correctional officers said in a letter to Missouri Governor Mike Parson, a Republican.

Former Missouri Supreme Court chief justice Michael Wolff, several Republican Missouri lawmakers and five of the jurors who handed down Dorsey's death sentence have also urged clemency.
