SECOND HALF HOUR: We discuss last-minute efforts to halt the execution of Richard Clay and how this case fits into the larger context of the death penalty in Missouri and in America.
UPDATE: Shortly after this program was recorded, Governor Jay Nixon announced that he had commuted Richard Clay's sentence to life in prison without possibility of parole.
