USA - Brian Dorsey (MO)
USA - Brian Dorsey (MO)
USA - Missouri. Brian Dorsey, 52 anni, bianco, è stato giustiziato.

Missouri

Brian Dorsey, 52 anni, bianco, è stato giustiziato. È stato dichiarato morto alle 18:11 (l’1 e 11 del mattino del 10 aprile in Italia) dopo l'iniezione di una overdose di pentobarbital nella prigione di stato di Bonne Terre.
Dorsey ha fatto alcuni respiri profondi mentre gli veniva iniettato il farmaco, poi diversi respiri rapidi e superficiali. A un certo punto ha sollevato la testa dal cuscino e ha sbattuto forte le palpebre. Dopo alcuni secondi, tutti i movimenti si sono fermati. Un consigliere spirituale seduto accanto alla barella ha continuato a parlare. Non era chiaro cosa dicesse, perché la stanza è insonorizzata.
Karen Pojmann, portavoce del dipartimento, ha dichiarato che l'esecuzione "si è svolta senza intoppi, senza problemi".
Dorsey era stato condannato nel 2008 (vedi NtC 10 novembre 2008) per aver ucciso sua cugina Sarah Bonnie e suo marito, Benjamin Bonnie, il 23 dicembre 2006, nella loro casa. Dorsey aveva chiesto ospitalità alla cugina perché degli spacciatori lo stavano cercando perché pagasse un debito. Accolto in casa, dopo che la coppia si era coricata, Dorsey aveva preso un fucile dal garage e li aveva uccisi entrambi, e rubato diversi oggetti dalla casa.
Il giorno dopo, i genitori di Sarah Bonnie andarono a controllare i Bonnie dopo che non si erano presentati a una riunione di famiglia. Trovarono la figlia di 4 anni della coppia sul divano a guardare la TV. Dorsey si consegnò alla polizia il 26 dicembre dello stesso anno, ammise gli omicidi e li attribuì allo stato allucinatorio in cui si trovava per effetto dell’assunzione di droga. La polizia sostenne che aveva anche abusato del corpo della cugina, ma questa aggravante non venne utilizzata al processo.
In una dichiarazione finale, Dorsey ha espresso rimorso e dolore per gli omicidi.
"Le parole non possono contenere il giusto peso della mia colpa e della mia vergogna", ha detto Dorsey nella dichiarazione scritta.
Circa 85 manifestanti si sono riuniti fuori dalla prigione a sostegno di Dorsey.
Qualche ora prima dell'esecuzione, la Corte Suprema ha respinto entrambi gli appelli di Dorsey senza commentare. I suoi avvocati avevano sollecitato l'intervento dell'Alta Corte, affermando che Dorsey aveva dimostrato un buon comportamento in carcere ed era riabilitato. Hanno anche sostenuto che una parcella forfettaria di 12.000 dollari pagata ai suoi due difensori d'ufficio li ha incentivati a sbrigare il caso. Su loro raccomandazione, Dorsey si è dichiarato colpevole nonostante non ci fosse alcun accordo con i pubblici ministeri per evitargli la pena di morte.
Lunedì, il governatore repubblicano Mike Parson ha negato una richiesta di clemenza che includeva le firme di 72 attuali ed ex agenti di custodia che esortavano il governatore a commutare la pena di Dorsey in ergastolo senza condizionale. Parson, repubblicano, è un ex sceriffo di contea. Non ha mai concesso clemenza da quando è entrato in carica nel 2018.
Dorsey diventa la prima persona giustiziata in Missouri quest'anno, la 98esima da quando il Missouri ha ripreso le esecuzioni nel 1989, il quinto detenuto giustiziato negli Stati Uniti quest'anno e il 1.587esimo in totale da quando il Paese ha ripreso le esecuzioni nel 1977.
