A federal court ruled on Friday that 19-year-old Corionsa "Khorry" Ramey cannot witness her father's execution, concluding that a Missouri law banning anyone under 21 from witnessing an execution does not violate the young woman's constitutional rights.
"I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to be with my dad in his last moments," Ramey said in an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) press release. "My dad is the most important person in my life. He has been there for me my whole life, even though he's been incarcerated."
