Summary
Tonight, two men died by lethal injection despite last ditch efforts to have their executions stayed. In Missouri, Lance Shockely maintained his innocence until his final hour. And the state of Florida executed its 15th and one of its oldest inmates, 72 year-old Samuel Lee Smithers. Amy and T.J. go over the details in both of these cases and discuss the reason why our country has drastically picked up its execution pace this year.
