Brian J. Dorsey Sixty Missouri Department of Corrections officers and staffers are urging the state governor to stop the execution of a model inmate convicted of killing his cousin and her husband. Brian Dorsey, 51, is set to be executed in April in the 2006 killing of his cousin, Sarah Bonnie, and her husband Ben Bonnie. He has been held in the Potosi Correctional Center for most of his sentence. The Kansas City Star reports that 60 former and current Missouri Department of Corrections officers and prison staffers wrote a letter asking Republican Gov. Mike Parson to grant Dorsey clemency. “We are part of the law enforcement community who believe in law and order,” the group wrote in the letter. “Generally, we believe in the use of capital punishment. But we are in agreement that the death penalty is not appropriate for Brian Dorsey.” A representative from the Missouri Department of Corrections says they have nothing to do with the letter. "We have not seen the letter," wrote Karen Pojmann, the communications director for the department. "Purportedly, it was sent to the Office of Governor Mike Parson and I don't know whether he has seen it either. She said they have no comment on the matter.
