Summary

This week Bob takes a quick side step to address a terrible injustice that is happening as we speak, in Missouri. An innocent man named Marcellus Williams came within 4 hours of being murdered by the State of Missouri on Tuesday. His execution has been stayed by Governor Eric Greitens for now, but his life still hangs in the balance of a newly created 5 person board of inquiry. To contact Governor Greitens you can call his office at 573-751-3222 or tweet him at @EricGreitens Today's Sponsors: Whistle - https://www.whistle.com/?utm_source=Truthandjustice&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=Q3_test&utm_content=25off ziprecruiter.com/truth - to try it for free
