Marcellus Williams is scheduled to be executed today at 6:00pm CST.
Despite credible evidence of his innocence.
Despite serious concerns about the integrity of the prosecution.
Despite numerous reports of racial bias, evidence tampering/mishandling, and incentivizing witnesses to testify on behalf of the prosecution.
Despite the opposition of the death penalty by the victim’s family.
Despite the objections of numerous human rights groups, religious leaders, and the prosecutors office itself.
The final hope to save Marcellus Williams before he is unjustly murdered by the state of Missouri is a last-minute intervention by the US Supreme Court, which is very, very unlikely to happen.
This is unconscionable and the most egregious violation of fundamental human rights. This is callous disregard for human life and state-sanctioned murder. This is how systemic racism continues to actively harm and murder Black and Brown people in this country.
Please continue to make as much noise as possible to help save Marcellus Williams. It’s not too late.
You can still call, tweet, and email - keep applying as much pressure as possible to help save this man’s life.
