The Missouri Supreme Court on Friday set an execution date of March 17 for 74-year-old Cecil Clayton.
Barry County Deputy Christopher Castetter, a 29-year-old father of three, was killed the day before Thanksgiving in 1996. Castetter went to Clayton’s home near Cassville to check on a suspicious vehicle report. The deputy was shot once in the head before he got out of his car.
Clayton became Missouri’s oldest death row inmate in November when 75-year-old Kenneth Baumruk died of natural causes. Baumruk was awaiting execution for killing his wife and injuring four others during a 1992 shooting rampage at the St. Louis County Courthouse.
Attorneys for a Southwest Missouri man are asking the state to overturn his death penalty conviction. They claim that Cecil Clayton has mental issues stemming from a brain injury at a sawmill back in 1972. They say that means he's incompetent to understand the sentence he's facing. The attorneys are asking the Missouri Supreme Court to order a new trial or a reconsideration of the sentence he's facing. Clayton was convicted of killing Barry County Deputy Chris Castetter in 1996.
Here is the good bit:-
In Mr. Clayton’s case, two years after the sawmill accident, he checked himself into a mental hospital for 15 months because he feared he could no longer control his temper. After his release, Mr. Clayton decided that he could no longer perform the work required at the sawmill, and instead took a job as a police officer in Purdy, Mo.
Has mental issues but was able to work as a police officer!!

Instead of a traditional Irish feast for his last meal, Cecil Clayton requested fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and cola. Except for the cola, a relatively healthy meal.
