The first openly transgender woman slated for execution in the US is appealing to Missouri’s governor for mercy, citing mental health struggles.
Lawyers for Amber McLaughlin, 49, on Monday asked Republican Gov. Mike Parson to spare her life before her Jan. 3 execution.
She was convicted of killing her 45-year-old ex-girlfriend Beverly Guenther on Nov. 20, 2003. Guenther was raped and stabbed to death in St. Louis County.

So he’s saying that he has ‘mental illness’, so at least that’s a start.

What the Jan. 4 headline in a sane world would read: “Missouri executes male murderer pretending to be a woman”

That’s quite an accomplishment, to become the first transgender woman to be executed by the state. Kudos to the guy!

His trans conversion to a woman no doubt happened after the murder.
Okay I looked, and by golly by gum, I was spot on.
The death warrant is in the name of Scott McLaughlin, who is being held at the men’s prison in Potosi. McLaughlin has transitioned to a woman over the past several years while on death row.

Figured he could sell himself for some pocket money.

The Old Testament truly calls this sort of thing “confusion” and I also can’t make it out.
