Executed
Earl Ringo Jr.
Earl Ringo Jr., 40, was executed by lethal injection at the Bonne Terre prison in Missouri on September 10, 2014, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. His attorneys had argued that the sedative midazolam could leave him unable to show pain, and courts and Gov. Jay Nixon declined to halt the execution. He was pronounced dead minutes after the injection, and his death was the eighth execution in Missouri that year.
