Missouri to execute man convicted of murder over child support

Missouri was preparing on Tuesday to execute a man convicted of attacking his former wife over child support payments and killing her friend as his lawyers exhausted several avenues of appeal. Andre Cole, 52, is scheduled to be put to death at 6 p.m. (CDT) Tuesday. As well, Cole is one of several Missouri death row inmates who have alleged the state's lethal injection protocol violates a constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. He fell $3,000 behind in child support for the couple's two children and his wages were ordered garnished, according to court records.
