Missouri has executed Amber McLaughlin, 49, for the murder of her ex-girlfriend in 2003, making it the first time in the U.S. that an openly transgender person has been executed.
McLaughlin died from lethal injection at 6:51 p.m. Tuesday, the Missouri Department of Corrections said. “I am sorry for what I did,” wrote McLaughlin in her final statement, which was released by the department of corrections. “I am a loving & caring person.”McLaughlin and her attorneys petitioned Republican Gov. Mike Parson for clemency, asking him to commute her death sentence.
However, Parson's office denied the request for clemency, saying in a statement that the family and loved ones of her victim, Beverly Guenther, “deserve peace.” Before transitioning in prison, McLaughlin was in a relationship with Guenther. McLaughlin would show up at the suburban St. Louis office where the 45-year-old Guenther worked, sometimes hiding inside the building, according to court records. Guenther obtained a restraining order, and police officers occasionally escorted her to her car after work.
