Rusty's case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In a 5-4 split along ideological lines, the Court ruled to allow his execution to proceed. In his dissent, Justice Breyer wrote, "It may be that….there simply is no constitutional way to implement the death penalty." — PolitiTweet.org

Rusty suffers from cavernous hemangioma – a rare, congenital disease which causes unstable blood-filled tumors to grow in his head, neck, and throat. When he is executed, these tumors are likely to burst. The result: an excruciating death at the hands of the state of Missouri. — PolitiTweet.org

Rusty's trial was characterized by deeply flawed, incomplete information. His history of surviving abuse, trauma, lead poisoning, and opioid addiction were not mentioned, despite documentation. — PolitiTweet.org
