David Hosier, the Missouri inmate scheduled to be executed Tuesday evening for a 2009 double murder, is proclaiming his innocence to the very end while reflecting on what he says he's learned. 'I've been able to speak the truth of my innocence. I've been able to set an example of resistance to lawyers who bully their clients,' according to a final statement that he intends to say before he is put to death that was shared with NBC News.
Mike Parson rejected Hosier's clemency submission Monday, saying the execution would be carried out because 'he displays no remorse for his senseless violence' and 'earned maximum punishment under the law.' Hosier was convicted in the shooting deaths of Jefferson City couple Rodney and Angela Gilpin. He admitted to having an extramarital affair with Gilpin while she was separated from her husband.
