Ex-judge not allowed to see death row inmate

TOKYO, Japan - Norimichi Kumamoto, a former judge at the Shizuoka District Court, looks dejected outside the Tokyo Detention House on July 2 after he was denied permission to visit a man he had sentenced to death for the 1966 murder of a family of four even though he believes the man was innocent. Kumamoto, 69, who presided over the trial of Iwao Hakamada, 71, went public in March and said he convicted the man as he was unable to persuade the two other judges in the trial of the defendant's innocence.

    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.
