Reginald Powell Case

A man convicted of killing two brothers in a drunken brawl was executed by injection early Wednesday after arguing that he didn’t receive an adequate defense from an attorney who became his lover.

Reginald Powell, 29, was pronounced dead at 12:04 a.m. at the Potosi Correctional Center in southeast Missouri. His final words were “I love my family.”The case drew national attention because of the affair between Powell and his original trial lawyer, Marianne Marxkors, a relationship that she said clouded her judgment. She blamed herself for putting him on death row.
