The state of Missouri is set to execute Marcellus, even though literally NO ONE with a stake in the outcome of the case—not even the prosecutor nor the victim's family— wants him to die. Learn More Here
Fuck America.
I dont know much about how USA law works but couldnt Biden just give him a presidential pardon and Missouri will be force to let him go?
I don't think so. The president can only pardon for federal crimes, and I think he is charged under Missouri state law. Which is why it was the governor's choice to grant him clemency or not.
Yea, but I want to blame Biden for this

This is correct. It is also why it went to the Supreme Court of Missouri.
May the people behind this experience the mercy that they've shown.
Death to the genocidal Amerikkkan Empire.

28 minutes left...
The timer on the Innocence Project website (intentionally not linking it here because it is loading so slowly I assume they are getting slammed right now) shows two more hours for some reason
It is still showing 2hr and 40min for me. I think the webpage might just use your local time to compute it and not take into account time zones.
Must be. That's surprisingly bad
Yeah, definitely that is the case. CNN is reporting that he was already executed 25 min ago.
Thank you for sharing. Extremely sad. Rest in Power, Marcellus Williams
I feel nothing but shame for the country I live in
The absolute evil, sadistic country that America is
Need a graphic George Floyd replaced with Marcellus Williams. With the Missouri gov putting his knee on Williams neck looking smugly at the crowd watching him as his 
lackeys inject poison with a speech bubble "I can't breathe" above Williams. Supreme Court looking the other way.
