Missouri inmate executed after 22-hour reprieve

Missouri inmate executed after 22-hour reprieve.
A man sentenced to death for the 1992 killing of a woman was executed Wednesday night, ending a 22-hour reprieve granted when a supposed alibi witness surfaced.
Daniel Basile, 35, died at 10:05 p.m. at the Potosi Correctional Center.
Basile had been scheduled to die at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for the slaying of Elizabeth DeCaro, 28. Gov. Holden delayed that execution after 18-year Basile acquaintance Julie Ann Montgomery-Lewis came forward for the 1st time, saying she could exonerate Basile.
In ruling Wednesday evening on a Basile appeal, a three-judge 8th Circuit panel found that "the alibi witness' story does not constitute `clear and convincing evidence' of actual innocence."
