Stop the Execution of Dennis Skillicorn

The Issue

Dennis Skillicorn is scheduled to be executed at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, May 20, in Missouri. He admits to being present at the crimes but says he did not pull the trigger. He agrees that he deserves to be in prison for what he did, but he has changed his life in prison and come to provide support and inspiration for people inside and outside of prison. The execution of someone with his impact and potential is a cruel and unproductive punishment.

Skillicorn runs one organization that aids sick or dying prisoners and another that supports victims of crimes. He has a family outside of prison that relies on him.

Take action on this case today and call on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon to commute Skillicorn's sentence to life.
