Missouri inmate Marcellus Williams was executed by lethal injection on Tuesday for the 1998 murder of Lisha Gayle despite her family’s calls to spare his life. Linsey Davis reports.
The Supreme Court denied two separate appeals to spare Williams’ life on Tuesday an hour ahead of his execution, despite the objection of Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

Isn't this the pulp fiction guy ?
I don’t know this story, so I don’t have an opinion on his innocence or guilt. But what I do know is, anytime anything involves a black person. You bamas always make claims that the person was innocent. While totally ignoring any kind of evidence that makes them guilty.
Justice system fails us once again 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Poor man, this is absolutely devastating! They will get their day in Hell.
Because he did it. I until you went and read court documents, don’t comment.
My Allah rest his soul to the highest Janna paradise
Now they probably find prove he was INOCCENT and come up with some sorry ass lame excuse
Sad
Why did it take them 20+ years to try to figure this out
It’s funny how some of these states scream pro life for the unborn but then for someone that they couldn’t prove his guilt, they execute. They pick and choose whose life they honor. RIP Marcellus.
