BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) A Missouri man who long maintained his innocence has been executed for the fatal shooting of a state trooper more than 20 years ago. Lance Shockley was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. Tuesday after being given a lethal injection at the state prison in Bonne Terre. He was convicted of killing Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Carl Dewayne Graham Jr. in March 2005. Prosecutors said Shockley waited for hours near the Grahams Van Buren home before shooting him with a rifle and shotgun after the trooper exited his patrol vehicle. Shockleys attorneys said prosecutors presented no direct evidence connecting him to the killing.
