Missouri's Supreme Court sets execution date for death row inmate Marcellus Williams, despite innocence claim and new DNA evidence.
Missouri's Supreme Court set an execution date for Marcellus Williams, a death row inmate who claims innocence in a 1998 murder case. Despite new DNA evidence and an ongoing investigation into his innocence claim, the court ruled that Governor Mike Parson was within his rights to dissolve a board of inquiry into the case. Williams' lawyers argue that his conviction relied on the testimony of two convicted felons seeking a $10,000 reward. The execution date is set for September 24.
