Clemency for Lance Shockley 

We need your help to support Lance Shockley and his fight for clemency!

Missouri plans to murder Lance Shockley on 10/14/2025.   Lance has always maintained his innocence and MADP supports him on his claim.  

• The jury did not impose the death sentence. He was sentenced to death by the judge, not a jury of his peers.  The jury was deadlocked. 
• Law enforcement identified over 500 investigative leads and multiple alternative suspects, many of which were not run down.
• The case is based on circumstantial evidence - the state admits this!  No direct evidence ties Lance to the crime: no blood or bodily fluids, no DNA, no hair, no fingerprints, and no eyewitnesses -- more information can be obtained at the website link below.
• The case involves “junk science” which is not scientifically sound.   
• The integrity of the trial has been called into question.
• The jury foreman brought a self-published book to trial, a fictionalized autobiography describing murderous vigilante justice against a drunk driver. He brought the book to deliberations and showed it to other jurors. Lance’s trial lawyers never questioned anyone about the book.  

Lance is a father of two loving adult daughters who are a part of his life.  He is a faith leader, counselor, and peacekeeper.  We have been told that if Lance were on the streets, he would be a minister or pastor. 

Sergeant Graham’s murder was a terrible tragedy and devastating loss for his family, his community, and the state of Missouri.  He was a beloved public servant who dedicated his life to the line of duty for many years.  Lance’s heart goes out to every member of Sergeant Graham’s family.  He prays that they find some measure of comfort as they continue to face the life-altering loss they have suffered and continue to endure daily.  The real culprit needs to be brought to justice.  Know something, submit a tip here
