Murder by the State - Marcellus Williams

bonus

On September 24, 2024, Missouri executed Marcellus Williams for the 1998 murder of Felicia Gayle. Multiple courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, denied last-minute appeals.

Both of the main witnesses against him had incentives to testify, and this has raised concerns about the reliability of their statements. Meanwhile, DNA evidence emerged in recent years that created beyond-reasonable doubt. Did Missouri execute an innocent man?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crimecast--4106013/support. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
