Economy 53,166 Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 48 minutes ago, phantasmas said: this ultimately went to the US Supreme Court and his appeal was rejected by a majority... Marcellus Williams was then executed today by lethal injection at 6:10pm EDT His last visitor was his Imam (spiritual leader) and his last words were, "“All Praise Be to Allah In Every Situation" How can they not review when new evidence is presented? Even if the new evidence is merely intreguing and not super convincing to everyone, death is permanent. There should be some kind of obligation to review it if something new comes!!!!

phantasmas 12,464 Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 i dont want to start conspiracies so pls just take this as my own opinion/suspicion but... i have a feeling the victim, Felicia Gayle, was writing something damning and thus was killed to silence her and Marcellus was then marked as the fall guy i am also starting to believe Gov Mike Parson dissolved the board overseeing Marcellus' appeal as evidence may have eventually led to an officer being found to have murdered Felicia Gov. Mike Parson also has a history of pardoning white people and executing black/brown prisoners A notable couple, that some may remember for threatening BLM activists with a gun + assault rifle, were pardoned by him even tho all evidence clearly shows them being guilty: Spoiler i truly will not be surprised if some serious skeletons fall out of Parson's closet in the near future edit: the Gov was also a former sheriff and we all know how the police all protect each other in this country and for context: Felicia Gayle was a journalist at St Louis Dispatch, a newspaper which has won multiple Pulitzer prizes for uncovering corruption within organizations such as the IRS and election boards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 16,177 Posted September 25, 2024 Author Share Posted September 25, 2024 This is so heartbreaking. I cannot believe this. The worst part is this is the third execution in Missouri this year, and another man that is likely innocent is on death row right now in Texas. The system itself really is broken. he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 53,777 Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 Beyond tragic. America proves yet again it can’t handle the death penalty responsibly. It must be abolished and ideally, those in power who allowed this must be prosecuted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnTheCeiling 7,044 Posted September 25, 2024 Share Posted September 25, 2024 Death sentence should be illegal. There is no reason to have it whatsoever. Retribution is not justice, we're not living under Hammurabi's Law. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 53,166 Posted September 27, 2024 Share Posted September 27, 2024 On 9/20/2024 at 8:56 PM, 27monster27 said: https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/stop-the-execution-of-marcellus-williams-an-innocent-man/ https://innocenceproject.org/cases/marcellus-williams/ Marcellus Williams was falsely convicted of murder in 2001. Forensic evidence from the scene of the crime does not line up with Marcellus Williams. On top of this, the state allegedly destroyed evidence that made him appear innocent. Many have urged governor Mike Parson to do something, but to no avail as of yet. Marcellus will be executed on September 24th if nothing happens. ---- Please sign the petition and call governor Parsons office! My question is why would they even do this? Did the real murder buy out the court or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
