Why is it such a hard sell to make someone right after the state takes decades of their lives? If the state screwed up, the state needs to make it up to the people they wronged. #WrongfulConvictions #exoneration #InnocenceProject

remember a few weeks ago how they executed Marcellus Williams after he'd already been in prison for like half his life, even though DNA evidence seemed to exclude him and the people who testified against him may have had specific incentives to?
they're doing it again in 2̶1 days̶ to this guy who brought his sick daughter to a hospital because she was sick, and I guess they decided he looked off or something.

The Innocence Project is a good initiative to free people who are wrongfully accused and to stop execution of innocence people on death row.
But to the people of Innocence Project: please make your website responsive (auto adjust to every device and screen size)! It really will harm the results of your petitions and it is such a small effort.
If you want, I will do it for free. @greatnorth_ip #innocenceproject https://innocenceproject.org

Time is running out to save an innocent father. Texas has set #InnocenceProject client Robert Roberson’s execution for Oct. 17, for a crime that never even occurred.
In September, we learned that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied Robert’s appeal and motion to stay his Oct. 17 execution. This decision was made despite the new medical and scientific evidence that proves Robert’s daughter, Nikki, died of natural causes, not from any inflicted injury, let alone a homicide.

Japan’s Criminal law system is known to be problematic.
This is one of the biggest scandals to rock the Justice system and Police-Prosecution.
Will Japan’s political circles do something? Highly doubt it. There will be apologies. There will be lots of bowing. There will be no legislative changes. That’s my bet.

And rightly so; you can compensate the wrongfully imprisoned, but you can't bring a dead man back to life. #InnocenceProject #NoDeathPenalty
Marcellus Williams execution draws fresh backlash to death penalty - The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/09/25/marcellus-williams-execution-reaction-missouri/
BREAKING: The @USSupremeCourt has denied a stay of execution and declined to grant review to Marcellus Williams, allowing his execution to go forward at 6 p.m. CT today. https://t.co/Nv50v0LUp8 #InnocenceProject
After 2 last-minute execution reprieves starting almost a decade ago, momentum to reexamine Williams’s decades-old conviction gathered from unlikely sources, including the local prosecutor from the office that convicted him. Williams received an outpouring of support from #legal groups such as the Midwest #InnocenceProject & a member of Congress. The FAMILY of the VICTIM in the 1998 St. Louis stabbing came to OPPOSE Williams’s execution.

Marcellus Williams condemned to die today despite serious flaws in trial
"The execution is opposed both by Gayle’s family and the prosecutor’s office that put Williams on death row — an unprecedented combination"

In more depressing news, our racist judicial system will be murdering another innocent black man today.
Marcellus Williams, 55, scheduled to be murdered by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CT on Tuesday in Bonne Terre state prison unless the US Supreme Court intervenes.
How cool would it be if someone was able to take any kind of action to prevent this objective evil from proceeding.

Texas will execute Robert Roberson on October 17 for a crime that never happened, based on discredited pseudo-science, and ignoring Texas' "junk science law" meant to prevent such use of flawed forensics and miscarriages of justice

A prosecutor contaminated key evidence before the trial and rejected multiple Black people from the jury pool, noting that one "looked very similar" to the defendant.
The judge, prosecutor, and victim's husband all agreed not to seek the death penalty
But the attorney general Andrew Bailey intervened to insure #MarcellusWilliams will be executed on September 24
