"Missouri Republicans and the Conservative Supreme Court ignored the pleas of prosecutors and just executed Marcellus Williams, an innocent Black man. The hoods are off."
"The extremist conservative majority on the Supreme Court gave them extra rope at the last second just for good measure in a 6-3 decision rejecting his request to delay the execution. So much for being pro-life."

#SupremeCourt allows #MarcellusWilliams to be #executed
https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/09/supreme-court-allows-marcellus-williams-to-be-executed/
#MissouriSupremeCourt and the state’s governor, #MikeParson, turned down requests to stop the #execution. Prosecutors in #StLouis, where Williams was convicted, had asked courts to overturn his conviction, but the state’s attorney general, #AndrewBailey, opposed those efforts.
The only #evidence linking Williams to the #murder was a laptop stolen from Gayle’s husband.
A Missouri man convicted of murder was executed Tuesday evening after efforts by his attorneys as well the prosecutor's office to halt it were rejected by the governor and Supreme Court.
The State destroyed or corrupted the evidence that could conclusively prove his innocence and the available DNA and other forensic crime-scene evidence does not match him.
They did it anyway.

“The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri’s obsession with finality over truth, justice and humanity.”
— Tricia Rojo Bushnell of the Midwest Innocence Project and Marcellus Williams‘ lawyer.

Sometimes I still think back to the #2022 and that time the #governor #MikeParson was trying to #sue a #journalist for viewing the #html of an education #website and also was claiming the "damages" from that #hack was going to cost the #taxpayers 50 million to fix.
(Basically they fucked up and put the #SSN of #teachers in html source on a public website, encoded with #base64
I wonder if that man still is as fucking stupid.
