Thanks for the update, Duchess. Short stay. So long, Smulls.
The high court lifted the stay without explanation around 5 p.m., and did the same with the appeals court stay about 4 hours later.
"It was a horrific crime," St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch McCulloch said on Tuesday. "With all the other arguments that the opponents of the death penalty are making, it's simply to try to divert the attention from what this guy did, and why he deserves to be executed."
