With time running out on his client, attorney Joseph W. Luby has asked the U. S. Supreme Court to hear the appeal of Missouri death row inmate Dennis Skillicorn.
Skillicorn was scheduled to be the first Missouri inmate executed since 2005, but his Aug. 27 execution date was delayed when the Missouri Supreme Court ruled Skillicorn's lawyer had not been given the opportunity to conduct the necessary interviews for his clemency appeal.
Skillicorn's case was placed on the U. S. Supreme Court docket Monday. A response is due by Oct. 15.
Background on the Skillicorn case can be found in the Aug. 13 Turner Report.
