Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:06:18 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Monday declined clemency for a man who faces execution Tuesday evening for killing two jailers in an ill-fated effort to free someone else from a county jail.Michael Tisius, 42, would be the third person in Missouri, and the 12th person nationally, to be executed in 2023. He's accused of killing officers Leon Egley and Jason Acton in June 2000.“It’s despicable that two dedicated public servants were murdered in a failed attempt to help another criminal evade the law,” Parson, a Republican, said in a statement. "The state of Missouri will carry out Mr. Tisius’s sentences according to the Court’s order and deliver justice.”Tisius has at least one pending court appeal. His appeals and his clemency request have focused on several issues.

Do you believe, as I do, that less than that and certainly a losing record will mean a change at quarterback. I also believe yanking Russell Wilson for the first time will also be for the last time. What are your thoughts on Sean Payton’s patience level, (or lack thereof), at QB?— A Referee, GreeleyRef just ruled the ball out of bounds off of Nikola Jokic.

Getting to that point means ending a long losing streak against the Raiders, winning at Miami and knocking off a Jets team that won in Denver last year and has Aaron Rodgers now, plus winning at Chicago and at home against Washington.Do I think that at 3-2 they’re going to bench Russell W...
