A Missouri inmate who is due to be executed next month has been hospitalized because of a “medical emergency.”
According to the Missouri Department of Corrections, 69-year-old David Hosier is scheduled to be put to death June 11 for killing a Jefferson City couple, Angela and Rodney Gilpin, in 2009. His attorney, Jeremy Weis, said a prison doctor diagnosed Hosier with heart failure this week.
Hosier’s spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeff Hood, said at a news conference on Friday that Missouri faces the prospect of executing a man who is critically ill. Asking, “How sick does a person have to be to not be executed in the state of Missouri?”
Hosier is the son of a murder victim, himself when his father, a police officer in Indiana killed in the line of duty. In a bit of irony, Hosier was later convicted of murder as an adult following the shooting death of Angela Gilpin, who in 2009, ended an extra-marital affair she was having with Hozier and reconciled with her husband. That’s when Hosier took his revenge, shooting the Gilpins to death in the doorway of their apartment in September 2009 while Hosier was found on the run in Oklahoma with a veritable war chest of weapons and equipment including fifteen guns, a bulletproof vest, 400 rounds of ammunition and a submachine gun, made from a kit, that investigators determined was used in the killings.
The Missouri Supreme Court upheld the conviction in 2019.
Hozier says he didn’t do it.
