#249 - On September 24, 2024, Marcellus Williams was executed by lethal injection in Missouri after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a stay despite prosecutors and the victim’s family asking that he be spared. Marcellus Williams was charged and convicted of murdering a St. Louis woman inside her home in August 1998 despite zero forensic evidence linking him to the brutal murder. His execution just over a week ago sparked a nationwide debate over the death penalty in the United States. Was Marcellus a cold-blooded killer? Or another wrongfully accused man sentenced to death?
