The state of Missouri has executed a man for the 2005 murder of a police officer – ignoring claims of racial bias in his conviction as well as a desperate bid from his teenage daughter to be with him in his final moments.
Kevin Johnson, 37, was put to death by lethal injection at the state prison in Bonne Terre on Tuesday night – becoming the fifth execution in America this month and making November the busiest month for death penalties in the whole of 2022.
