La condanna a morte di William Rousan, condannato per duplice omicidio, è stata eseguita in Missouri subito dopo mezzanotte

Missouri executed an inmate early Wednesday who was convicted of killing a farming couple in 1993.
William Rousan, 57, was scheduled to be executed at 12:01 a.m. He was declared dead at 12:10 a.m., Missouri Department of Corrections spokesman Mike O’Connell said.
The execution took place at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, which is just a few miles from the farm where the killings took place.
Prosecutors say Rousan, his teenage son Brent Rousan and William’s brother Robert Rousan murdered Charlie and Grace Lewis on Sept. 21, 1993 as part of a plot to steal two of the couple’s cows. Brent Rousan is serving life in prison without parole. Robert Rousan served seven years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
