Repost from :

(A death row inmate in Missouri, Marcellus Williams, was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001 for the death of Felicia Gayle, a newspaper reporter found stabbed to death in her home in 1998. His ex*****on is set for September 24th.

Williams has long claimed his innocence and has asked the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of ex*****on. He argues that his due process rights were denied during the years-long legal battle to save his life.

St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell has raised concerns about DNA evidence on the murder weapon while requesting a hearing to challenge Williams’ guilt. Bell stated that the evidence suggests that someone else’s DNA was found on the butcher knife used to kill Gayle, but not that of Williams.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney said earlier this year that there were constitutional errors in William’s original criminal trial, the court documents state, citing issues including the removal of at least one prospective Black juror due to race.

Also, at the hearing, the man who prosecuted Williams, Keith Larner, was asked why the trial jury included just one Black juror. Larner said he struck just three potential Black jurors, including one who he said: “Looked like Williams.”

A change.org petition signed by 525,000 people calls for a halt to the ex*****on.)
