Lebanon Man On Death Row Dies

The Missouri Department of Corrections reports a man on death row for killing a Laclede County Couple has died.

Prison officials say an autopsy will be performed on 43-year-old Jessie Driskill of Lebanon.

A judge sentenced Driskill in 2013 for killing Johnnie and Coleen Wilson of Lebanon.

Investigators say the Wilsons encountered Driskill while he was burglarizing their home.

The Missouri Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2021.
