Corionsa 'Khorry' Ramey, 19, says she is 'heartbroken' she can't be with her father, Kevin Johnson, when he is due to be executed next week over the shooting of a police officer in Missouri in 2005.
However, US district judge Brian Wimes has now ruled against the teenager and said it is in the public interest to"allow states to enforce their laws and administer state prisons without court intervention".Advertisement
The ACLU called on the state of Missouri to"do right" by Ms Ramey, tweeting:"A federal judge has denied Ramey's request to witness her father Kevin Johnson's execution. When Mr McEntree returned to the area to investigate unrelated reports of fireworks being set off, Johnson shot the officer several times.
In an earlier news conference ahead of the judge's ruling, Ms Ramey said she wanted to attend the execution for"peace of mind" and as a part of the grieving process.Ms Ramey said:"I am my dad's closest living relative and he is mine, other than my baby son.
