At 6:10 p.m. on September 24, the State of Missouri executed Marcellus Williams.
Williams’ conviction for murder was full of holes. Experts concluded that DNA found on the murder weapon could not possibly have been from Williams. A juror was excluded because he was black, like Williams—which is not only racist, but is illegal.
Even the St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney said Williams should not be executed.
Yet the U.S. Supreme Court gave the go ahead for the State of Missouri to execute him. In any reasonable society, they would themselves be tried as murderers.
