Felicia Gayle Picus was a former St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter who was found stabbed to death in her St. Louis, Missouri, home during the day on August 11, 1998. Felicia, 42 years old, was killed during a burglary in her gated community home. She was stabbed and cut 43 times with a butcher's knife taken from her kitchen.

Marcellus Williams, 55, was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001 in the death of Felicia Gayle. He has long claimed his innocence and is scheduled to be executed in less than one week - he asked the US Supreme Court on Wednesday for a stay of execution, arguing his due process rights were denied during the years long legal battle to save his life.
