Let me clear up the lies about the inevitable Marcellus Williams execution⚡️
1) He confessed to multiple people - including his girlfriend. 2) He had the victim’s purse, ID, clothes, and husband’s laptop in his car. 3) He was convicted. By a jury of his peers.
(1)
4) The defense has had over 20 years to produce NEW evidence that proves his innocence - the legal standard post-conviction. 5) DNA testing did not “clear” him. 6) The only DNA found on later testing belonged to members of the prosecution - not a possible other suspect.
(2)
7) The DNA was not mishandled by standards in practice 20 years ago. 8) The DNA evidence was collected, without issue, then after collection - the prosecution touched the knife without gloves - as was common - they just didn’t know.
(3)
9) The Missouri Supreme Court reviewed ALL of this information & found, “no credible evidence of actual innocence or any showing of a constitutional error undermining confidence in the original judgment,”
(4)
10) The only Prosecutor with jurisdiction is the Missouri AG - who said it was a legal conviction, that Williams was found guilty, and petitioned for the execution to proceed. 11) The current local DA, has ZERO jurisdiction over the case. His opinion is irrelevant.
(END)
