Elyse Max of Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty extends gratitude to the supporters of Marcellus 'Khaliifah' Williams, noting over 1 million signatories against his execution.
The execution of Marcellus Williams epitomizes Missouri's troubling trend of scheduling state-sponsored executions with disregard for urgent appeals, illustrating a government indifferent to life.
Khaliifah, a 55-year-old Black man and converted imam, found a purpose in poetry and Islam during his 24 years in prison, yet faced lethal injection.
The Midwest Innocence Project reported that previously solid evidence in Khaliifah's case fell apart when original prosecutorial team members confessed to mishandling crucial evidence.
