Capital punishment in Missouri

[2] After the execution of Christopher Leroy Collings for the 2007 rape and murder of a young girl, only eight inmates remain on death row in Missouri as of December 2024.

[4] The power of clemency belongs to the Governor of Missouri after receiving a non-binding advice from the Board of Probation and Parole.

Statute books also provide it for aggravating kidnapping, but capital punishment for this crime is no longer constitutional since the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court case Kennedy v.

[9] The next 61 executions starting with Gerald Smith were done at the Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Point, Missouri.

[10] Since April 2005, executions have been 25 miles east of Potosi at the Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Bonne Terre, Missouri.
