Missouri is set to execute a man in May whose death sentence was overturned three previous times, after the state Supreme Court upheld the punishment on Monday.
Carman Deck was first sentenced to death in 1998 for the murders of an elderly couple, James and Zelma Long, during a home robbery in De Soto, Missouri. Deck entered their home alongside his sister and shot the couple execution-style, after posing as someone asking for directions.
