Gm. One of the reasons I can never support the death penalty is because of cases like this. #MarcellusWilliams will be executed in 12 hours for a crime he didn’t commit. St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell filed the motion to free him because the DNA Evidence says he’s innocent. Despite this, despite over a million signatures on the petition they are going to murder him anyway. https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/call-gov-parson-to-stop-the-sept-24-execution-of-marcellus-williams-417-373-3400/

Brazil effectively abolished the death penalty in the 19th century when the king D. Pedro II denied pardon to a slave that was posthumously proven innocent. He was so horrified to have sent an innocent man to his death that he pardoned every single death penalty in Brazil afterwards. Death penalty was officially abolished by the first republican constitution, several decades later

Yes he died of lethal injection today. I forgot to mention that even the victims family were asking to stop the death. This is a gross miscarriage of justice and I am so appalled. Fly high Marcellus 🕊️ 🙏

i hope to see the day the people realize we’ve come to a moment in history where they have to be the authority. and instead of signing a petition, they march on the governor’s home.

100%, and that would be if wrongful convictions and corruptionwere rare. They are sadly very much not.
