Missouri may be the first<\/a> state to ever execute a transgender woman in the United States, unless the state\u2019s governor grants clemency, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Amber McLaughlin, 49, is a transgender woman and is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection tomorrow, after being found guilty of killing<\/a> a former girlfriend in 2003.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin was tried as Scott McLaughlin and did not transition until after being sentenced to prison.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press reported that McLaughlin was in a relationship with 45-year-old Beverly Guenther before transitioning and would sometimes show up at an office in St. Louis where Guenther worked.<\/p>\n

At times, McLaughlin hid inside the building, according to court records, leading Guenther to obtain a restraining order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police officers, at times, would escort Guenther to her vehicle after work.<\/p>\n

On the night of Nov. 20, 2003, Guenther\u2019s neighbors called police after she failed to return home, the AP reported.<\/p>\n

Officers went to the office where Guenther worked and found a broken knife handle near her car and a trail of blood. The next day, McLaughlin showed police where Guenther\u2019s body had been dumped in the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin was ultimately convicted of first-degree murder in 2006 and sentenced to death after a jury deadlocked on the sentence, AP reported. In 2016, a court ordered a new sentencing hearing, but in 2021, the federal appeals court panel reinstated the death penalty.<\/p>\n

With no appeals pending, McLaughlin\u2019s attorney Larry Comp told AP, clemency is being sought.<\/p>\n

The request for clemency does not primarily focus on McLaughlin\u2019s gender identity, but instead on traumatic childhood and mental health issues which were never presented to a jury during trial.<\/p>\n

AP reported that the clemency petition claims when McLaughlin was with a foster parent as a toddler, that person rubbed feces in her face. Another time, her adoptive father used a stun gun on her, according to the petition.<\/p>\n

The petition also claims McLaughlin suffers from depression and attempted to kill herself several times.<\/p>\n

When it comes to McLaughlin’s gender identity, the petition addresses a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, which is a condition that can cause anguish and more because of a person struggling between their assigned sex at birth, and their gender identity, AP reported.<\/p>\n

“We think Amber has demonstrated incredible courage because I can tell you there\u2019s a lot of hate when it comes to that issue,” Komp told AP on Monday. But he added it is not the focus of the clemency request.<\/p>\n

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is reviewing the request for clemency, which a spokesperson for the governor told AP is still underway.<\/p>\n

The Death Penalty Information Center, according to AP, said there is no known case of a transgender inmate being executed in the U.S.<\/p>\n

This is also the first use of the death penalty on a woman since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976, according to U.S. House of Representative members Cori Bush and Emanuel Cleaver, who urged Parson to grant clemency.<\/p>\n

Before 1976, the only woman ever executed in the state was Bonnie B. Heady, AP said. She was executed in a gas chamber on Dec. 18, 1953, for kidnapping and killing a 6-year-old boy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
