Missouri Governor Denies Clemency to Marcellus Williams Amid Serious Legal Doubts ⚖️
Missouri Governor Mike Parson has denied clemency to Marcellus Williams, scheduled for execution on Sept. 24, 2024, despite widespread concerns about his conviction. The St. Louis County Prosecutor moved to vacate the sentence due to prosecutorial errors and potential racial bias in jury selection. The victim’s family and over one million citizens have called for clemency. His attorney, Tricia Rojo Bushnell, asserts Williams’ innocence and urges the courts to intervene in preventing this execution.
