We need your help to support Lance Shockley and his fight for clemencyMissouri plans to murder Lance Shockley on 10/14/2025. Lance has always maintained his innocence and MADP supports him on his claim.
- The jury did not impose the death sentence. He was sentenced to death by the judge, not a jury of his peers. The jury was deadlocked.
- Law enforcement identified over 500 investigative leads and multiple alternative suspects, many of which were not run down.
- The case is based on circumstantial evidence – the state admits this! No direct evidence ties Lance to the crime: no blood or bodily fluids, no DNA, no hair, no fingerprints, and no eyewitnesses — more information can be obtained at the website link below.
- The case involves “junk science” which is not scientifically sound.
- The integrity of the trial has been called into question.
- The jury foreman brought a self-published book to trial, a fictionalized autobiography describing murderous vigilante justice against a drunk driver. He brought the book to deliberations and showed it to other jurors. Lance’s trial lawyers never questioned anyone about the book.
