“When DNA evidence proves innocence, capital punishment is not justice — it is murder.”
Gm. One of the reasons I can never support the death penalty is because of cases like this. #MarcellusWilliams will be executed in 12 hours for a crime he didn’t commit. St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell filed the motion to free him because the DNA Evidence says he’s innocent. Despite this, despite over a million signatures on the petition they are going to murder him anyway. https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/call-gov-parson-to-stop-the-sept-24-execution-of-marcellus-williams-417-373-3400/

Just think if those in the legal system who condemn innocent people to death could be prosecuted for murder. That might change their calculations.
