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.
