The last time a Missouri prison inmate was executed was in October of 2003. It appears that’s about to change. The State Supreme Court has set an execution date for Stanley Hall, who was convicted of murdering Barbara Joe Wood by throwing her over the McKinley Bridge in St. Louis into the Mississippi River after a car theft on the night of January 15th, 1994. Part of Wood’s body was found seven-and-a-half months later in the Mississippi River. Hall’s execution date has been set for March 16th.
