Koster issues statement on execution of John Winfield

(From Attorney General Chris Koster)

Attorney General Chris Koster made the following statement after the execution of John Winfield:

"Nearly two decades have passed since John Winfield's cowardly acts of rage and jealously changed the lives of three families forever. He brutally murdered two defenseless young women, one in front of her children, and attempted to murder the mother of his own children, leaving her permanently disabled. For his actions, a court lawfully sentenced him to death under Missouri law, and tonight that sentence has been carried out."
