Court to decide on 1990 murder retrial next week to acquit man

TOKYO, Japan - Toshikazu Sugaya (C), who was jailed for 17 years and released earlier this month after fresh DNA tests indicated his innocence, speaks at a news conference in Tokyo on June 16 after the Tokyo High Court announced it will decide next week whether to start a retrial in the 1990 murder case of a 4-year-old girl. Sugaya was convicted of kidnapping and murdering the girl in Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture, but was freed on June 4 by the Tokyo High Public Prosecutors Office. (Kyodo)

    Man Executed In Spite Of Prosecutor's Objections - Missouri

    Man Executed In Spite Of Prosecutor's Objections - Missouri

    NO FILM, NO VIDEO, NO TV, NO DOCUMENTARY - Undated file photo of Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams was granted a stay of execution in 2017 after DNA evidence found he is not a match for the male DNA found on the murder weapon. After years of fighting to prove his innocence, 55-year-old Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams was executed in Missouri on Tuesday, leaving behind a touching and simple message as his last statement. Prosecutors, Williams’ defense attorneys and the victim’s family agreed that his murder trial had been mishandled and that his life should have been spared. A groundswell of online supporters had called out the lack of evidence against him, and Williams had maintained that he was not involved in the 1998 murder for which he’d been convicted.
