Stop the injustice!! https://t.co/L3jsyNZQcU

A great piece on the absurdity of this law. MN we have more work to do!Though we have started to limit the law… there are others that still use the expansive liability (609.05 (2)) to continue to unjustly apply those doctrine wrongfully to people. @ClareOumou @CedrickFrazier

The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled the state’s new aiding and abetting felony murder statute is constitutional over the objections of some prosecutors. https://t.co/b0GV0i6a9F

We are devastated to hear today’s tragedy. We are praying for the Hortman & Hoffman families as well as for our lawmakers. We are Blessed to have seen the depths of the friendships within the walls of the capital & we pray for all of our lawmakers for safety and comfort.

The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on earth — worse, every single state incarcerates more people per capita than most nations.

Anyone who believes that a felony conviction should not bar someone from the most powerful office on the planet must also agree that felony-based employment discrimination for everyday jobs makes no sense.

People should be held accountable for the crimes they commit. They should not be punished for crimes they did not commit. #beyondlwop

Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors and the victim's family asking that he be spared https://t.co/jUvcJA97HS

[Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota @FMLReformMN]

Truth! We fight for a system that is just. Today that dream seems very far off.

[Justin Brooks @JustinoBrooks]

Sadly, most people don’t know how flawed the justice system is until they, or a loved one, get caught up in it.

[Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota @FMLReformMN]

May those who had the power to help an innocent man & didn’t reap what they have sown.

We pray peace and comfort for the William’s family 🙏🥲

Marcellus Williams executed after two decades on death row https://t.co/6rzrWWw5H4

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

Here are the people who want Marcellus Williams to receive clemency:

— The victim’s family
— The prosecutors
— Members of the jury

If @GovParsonMO allows this execution to take place he will have blood on his hands.

[Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota @FMLReformMN]

SCOTUS 6-3 decision to refuse a stay of execution for Marcus Williams is a testament to our justice system’s failure. NO DNA evidence linking him to the crime!only questionable witnesses—this is a shameful endorsement of state-sanctioned murder….(copied)

[Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota @FMLReformMN]

The Prosecutor,The victims family, The innocence proj & so many others (who have reviewed evidence) say it should be stopped! THOUSANDS have reached out & demand it be stopped. YET SCOTUS, the state Supreme Court & the Gov deny basic humanity!

[Laura Burstein @LauraBurstein1]

BRKG ATTY STMT: #SCOTUS denies stay for #MarcellusWilliams. “Tonight, Missouri will execute an innocent man, Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams,” despite opposition from prosecuting atty, victim’s family, jurors and one million supporters. Atty stmt here: https://t.co/URDYocoMcR

[CJ Smiley, Ph.D. @UptownKastro]

#MarcellusWilliams faces execution on 9/24 for a crime that DNA proves he didn’t commit. Join me, @innocence, and @the_mip in taking action to prevent this irreversible injustice. #SaveMarcellus https://t.co/6D4JnoBeAm

[Amanda Knox @amandaknox]

Marcellus Williams has been on death row for 23 years proclaiming his innocence for the murder of reporter Felicia Gayle in 1998. The crime scene had tons of forensic evidence: fingerprints, footprints, hair, and even DNA on the murder weapon. None of it matches Williams.

[NAACP @NAACP]

#MarcellusWilliams is scheduled for execution today, for a crime he did not commit.

If you believe in true justice, stand with us. We need your support.

Take action and urge Governor Michael L. Parson (R-MO) to halt this execution: https://t.co/8f30aWTFeW

[Felony Murder Law Reform Minnesota @FMLReformMN]

This is appalling! No one with the power to do what is right has stepped up and done so…. @KamalaHarris @Tim_Walz @JoeBiden You need to step in and stop an innocent man from being murdered for a crime he didn’t commit!!! We know wrongful convictions happen… help!!

[Innocence Project @innocence]

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of. ⁠

Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life.⁠ https://t.co/eofSDX66tC

[Innocence Project @innocence]

Despite admissions of serious prosecutorial misconduct, including improper handling of evidence, #MarcellusWilliams is still facing execution in four days. His last chance is for @GovParsonMO to intervene. Call, tweet, and e-mail Gov. Parson now and urge him to stop the execution before it’s too late at 417-373-3400. https://t.co/zjxYf3zyzi
