In 8 days, Missouri could execute an innocent man
The State of Missouri is scheduled to execute Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams on Sept. 24 for a crime that even prosecutors now say he did not commit. On Sept. 12, a Missouri judge denied a motion filed by prosecutors to vacate Williams\u2019 conviction and death penalty. Despite more than half a million petition signatures demanding Williams be freed, Missouri is set to proceed with the execution. Michelle Smith, Co-Director of\xa0Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty, joins\xa0Rattling the Bars\xa0to explain Williams\u2019 case and the fight to free him before it\u2019s too late.
