Summary

On September 24, 2024, Missouri executed Marcellus Williams for the 1998 murder of Felicia Gayle. Multiple courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, denied last-minute appeals. One of the most troubling aspects of this case is the role that informants played in Williams’ conviction.

Meanwhile, DNA evidence emerged in recent years that created beyond-reasonable doubt. Did Missouri execute an innocent man?
