Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ push to overturn conviction

Williams long maintained his innocence and the killing was opposed by victim’s family, jurors and office that tried him

"Five executions are scheduled in America over the course of the next week. There are multiple strong innocence claims, and one man whose execution was already botched previously. A harsh reminder of how awful the death penalty is."
