“Marcellus Williams is scheduled for execution in Missouri on Sept. 24 even though there is no reliable evidence proving that he committed the crime for which he was sentenced to death.

The State destroyed or corrupted the evidence that could conclusively prove his innocence and the available DNA and other forensic crime-scene evidence does not match him. There is far too much uncertainty in this case to allow Mr. Williams to be executed, particularly when the victim’s family believes life without parole is the appropriate sentence.

It is not too late for Gov. Mike Parson to ensure that Missouri does not take an innocent man’s life. The Governor should exercise his authority to grant clemency and commute Mr. Williams’ sentence to life without parole, or, at a minimum, stay the execution to allow the resolution of further appeals.

Call Gov. Parson and urge him to stop the execution before it’s too late: 417-373-3400“

Bumping this because he’s due to be executed today. Biden cannot pardon him because it’s a state crime and not a federal one.

This is sickening. We need to abolish the death penalty.

It’s barbaric.

Even the St. Louis County Prosecutor is calling for clemency.

I’m so mad. This is state-sponsored murder.

I called 24 times today alone. I can't get a person (only a full mailbox). I keep watching the timer. This is serious injustice.

[underwaterrhymes]

Fuck all the conservative members of SCOTUS who denied the stay of execution.

[neverfstop]

I'm just here to say this is horrible & unacceptable in any civilized society. We have morally failed.

Can there be an executive order to pause or stay all executions? Even at the federal level to interject in state matters?

[underwaterrhymes]

Governor Mike Parsons is a murderer.

Rest in Power, Khalifah. (Edited to change Marcellus to the name be preferred to use.)

[wanderingback]

It’s horrific. Abolition now.
I wish something could be done at least at the federal level to get rid of the death penalty.

Unforgivable

May he never know another moment's peace.

I just cannot understand the decision in this case. This was not justice and fuck Parsons forever that he pinned his denial of a stay of execution for the victim's family. The victim's family did not want this.

I am so disgusted. This is an absolute tragedy that could have been prevented on multiple levels. Again, we are broken.

[mrshandy]

Fucking disgusting....I'm so baffled why anyone would let this happen. May they rot in hell someday if you believe in that.
