Governor Mike Kehoe has announced that clemency will not be granted to Lance Shockley.On March 20, 2005, Shockley ambushed and murdered Sergeant Carl DeWayne Graham, Jr., of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. At the time, Sergeant Graham was investigating the manslaughter of Jeffrey Bayless, a passenger killed while riding in a car with Shockley, who was suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. Shockley went to Sergeant Graham’s home, where he first shot the Trooper from behind with a rifle, severing his spinal cord and paralyzing him. Shockley then delivered fatal shotgun blasts to Graham’s face and shoulder.
