By: Scott Lauck May 20, 2009

The man whose name has sat atop nearly every anti-death penalty lawsuit filed in Missouri in the last few years is dead. Earlier today, Dennis Skillicorn, 49, was executed by lethal injection at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Mo. Skillicorn is the first inmate to be put to death in Missouri since October 2005. Skillicorn was executed for his role in the murder of Richard Drummond, who had stopped to help Skillicorn and two other men on the side on Interstate 70. Instead, they drove Drummond to a wooded area in Lafayette County and shot him.
