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.

Cave On The Moon Could Be A Future Base

Hand out photo shows the Mare Tranquillitatis pit as seen by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Radar data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed what they think may be the deepest known cave on the moon, with a "skylight" entrance 330 feet (100 meters) wide. The cave, which could potentially be a location for a future moon base, is in Mare Tranquillitatis—Latin for Sea of Tranquility—close to the landing spot of Apollo 11, the first mission to land people on the moon 55 years ago this week. Researchers at the University of Trento in Italy have revealed more about Mare Tranquillitatis Pit in a paper published on Monday July 15, 2024 in Nature Astronomy. It is one of about 200 on the moon. A pit is an opening on the lunar surface that could be an entrance to a cave or lava tube. The latter forms when underground rivers of lava empty out. Pits are believed to form when parts of a lava tube's ceiling collapse, and those that directly expose the interior are called skylights. About 16 of the 200
