I'd be really interested to know what the jury vote on that was. If it was 6 to 6 it would be pretty outrageous that the judge handed down the dp, 11 to 1 maybe not so much. Obviously death penalty opponents were unsuccessful in the appeals courts on this point.

The issue is that the jury were deadlocked and didn’t rule for the death penalty. Missouri is one of two States (the other being Indiana) that allow a judge to overrule the jury and arbitrarily impose the death sentence.
