Michael Tisius, scheduled to be executed Tuesday night, is reportedly on an 'emotional rollercoaster' as his fate remains in limbo as clemency bids are heard in state and federal court.
on Monday declined to halt the execution based on Tisius' age when the crime occurred. A federal judge last week stayed the execution over the claim that a juror was illiterate, but an appeals panel reinstated it. The Supreme Court hasn't yet ruled on that issue.
A 2005 Supreme Court ruling prohibits executions for those who were under 18 at the time of the crime. But Carlyle said"emerging science plus information about Mr. Tisius' own brain dictates that they should now change that rule to apply to Mr. Tisius." Michael Tisius, who in 2000 gunned down two prison guards during a failed jailbreak attempt, is scheduled to be executed Tuesday night.
At trial, Bulington testified that she looked up and saw Tisius with the gun drawn, then watched as he shot and killed Acton. When Egley approached, Tisius shot him, too. Both officers were unarmed.
