Reblogging cuz idk if my followers know about this yet and I'm tryna spread the word because this amount of injustice is absolutely sick. Apparently in 2001 they imprisoned this man for the robbing and murder of a family with no proof, no DNA test whatsoever basically just on a hunch pretty much like "I just got a feeling bro" and nothing was done. In 2024 he was to be put on death row for no reason again even though the victims families were against it and pretty much everyone actually but the jury did not listen till word got to the government and the government said to just imprison him and continue on with the investigation till a new government came into power and threw that all away. Now Marcellus was on death row again and I think there was even a court case but the guy defending Marcellus got sent home or something because they said his hair was unprofessional for a lawyer and messy (at least that's what i heard on a tiktok) and the case was cancelled that day. I think they said it was meant to be rescheduled but the jury rejected and said he was meant to be put on death row immediately. The video also said the jury were tryna rush the execution as well so over a thousand signatures all over america were signed including the victims families who also signed (mind you the signatures were so Marcellus could peacefully continue his life imprisonment sentence from 2001 and not get executed) but luckily the test results were out before the execution and the DNA test results showed he didn't do it but the jury still decided to go on with the execution and the current government in power didn't rlly care and permitted it so yeah that's where we are now. I think i heard marcellus died yesterday too unfortunately such a sad story.

Remember Khaliifah Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is

Rest in peace Marcellus
