Missouri carried out the execution of Marcellus Williams on Tuesday, despite significant opposition from prosecutors who advocated for the overturning of his conviction and supported his claims of innocence. Williams, who maintained his innocence throughout his legal battle, was executed by lethal injection at the age of 55. The case has drawn widespread outrage, particularly as the prosecuting office that originally tried Williams has expressed doubts about his guilt, suggesting he may have been wrongfully convicted. The execution has raised serious questions about the integrity of the justice system and the implications of capital punishment in cases where innocence is claimed.

Missouri death row inmate Marcellus Williams was executed, even as doubts about his guilt lingered, with even members of the prosecution expressing concerns about his innocence. In his final moments, Williams declared, "All praise be to Allah in every situation!!!"

Marcellus Williams, a 55-year-old inmate in Missouri, is appealing to the Supreme Court as he faces an execution date set for September 24. Williams has consistently maintained his innocence in the case that led to his conviction. In a dramatic turn of events in 2017, he narrowly escaped execution at the last moment. His legal team is now urging the Supreme Court to review his case, hoping to prevent the impending execution and to further investigate the claims of his innocence.
