Missouri man faces execution for raping, killing 15-year-old

ST. LOUIS (AP) — An inmate scheduled to be executed Tuesday for killing a 15-year-old Missouri girl has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his punishment, saying the death penalty is unconstitutional.

But a detective who helped break the case scoffed at the appeal Monday, saying Roderick Nunley should have been put to death long ago.

Nunley and a co-defendant were accused of kidnapping Ann Harrison as she waited for a school bus in Kansas City, then raping and killing the girl in 1989. If the courts don't step in, the 50-year-old Nunley will be lethally injected at 6 p.m. Tuesday and become the sixth inmate executed this year in Missouri.

Prosecutors said Nunley and Taylor binged on cocaine and stole a car in the pre-dawn hours of March 22, 1989. At one point, a police officer from neighboring Lee's Summit chased the car but was called off by a supervisor when the stolen car crossed into Kansas City.

Later that morning, the men were driving around Kansas City when they saw Ann standing on her driveway, waiting for a school bus. Taylor and Nunley quickly grabbed the 15-year-old girl and took her to Nunley's mother's home. She was raped and sodomized, then stabbed repeatedly in the stomach and the neck.

Taylor and Nunley put her body in the trunk of the stolen car, then abandoned it in a residential area. The body was found three days later.

I was in college when this happened and they kidnapped her not far from the college.

I agree, that's why God gave the girl a dad.

Can you remember enough to tell us what happened? In a accurate if not politically correct manner.

Simply that we heard she was kidnapped. I had forgotten they had stolen a car first. Cops were chasing the stolen car but it crossed into another city. She may have still been alive at that point; i.e. it was before they got back to that other city.

As I had classes every day at the community college, it had happened not that far from the college (several, several miles, though). I don’t know the distance but it would have been at least 10 miles or more away I think. Still, unnerving.

Seeing her picture now, I remember her as the victim. I never saw the faces of the perps. What a waste.

I put in the details to show what these thugs did. I knew they were eventually caught, but way too late, unfortunately.

If I read the article correctly, they did NOT have her when the stolen car was chased.

However, if that’s true, had they been caught and arrested, they would not have been able to commit the crimes against her.

It will be a surprise if the execution is carried out.

We all remember what Missouri Governor Jay Nixon did against violent rioters and looters up there last year.

Nothing.

1989? This trash has had 26 years more of life than this beautiful young girl had. Get it done!

Politicians seem increasingly unable to deal with blacks. Do you think your governor will stop the execution?

So, this ghetto trash has had free room and board since '89? Now we're going to give him a sedative (to make him comfortable) and gently put him to sleep? And all this after he kidnapped, tortured and murdered a precious girl?

What's wrong with this picture? Please, we need a Revolution.

He ain’t mine. I wouldn’t have claimed that guy for trash collector.

But he’s certainly a spineless goober.

There are a lot of folks at Yahoo making comments about how ticked off they are about the whole thing.

And I’m putting that nicely. Check ‘em out.

I did not say or imply Missouri’s governor is “yours.” I did ask if you think he will stop the execution.
