Marcellus Williams has been on death row in Missouri for nearly 20 years. He was convicted for a 1998 murder, but maintains his innocence. Prosecutors say evidence clears him. He's still scheduled to be executed today. https://t.co/q3P9inS4uY

‘There was no crime,’ says author about Robert Roberson who was convicted of murder based on discredited science https://t.co/gHyU8N1gWL

#MarcellusWilliams is scheduled to be executed by the state of Missouri in 9 hours for a crime he didn't commit. Robert Robert Roberson faces a similar fate in Texas on Oct. 17th without intervention. https://t.co/o8Cj9hkYDR

Greg Abbott says he's pro-life. There's nothing pro-life about sending a man to his death if there's doubt about his culpability. I'm a Texas taxpayer. These are my dollars that will be used to end this man's life in about 10 minutes. He could have paused this. Just nauseating.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

This case epitomizes the incompetence in our legal system. A key witness lied under oath & the star witness has essentially been discredited.

But the Texas appeals court dismissed his case on *procedural grounds*—without reviewing the merits—bc we value legalism over human life.

[jordan @JordanUhl]

Texas executed an innocent man in Ivan Cantu.

A man whose trial featured a star state witness who admitted he committed perjury before a jury whose foreman has been trying to stop the execution.

But Greg Abbott let it happen anyway.

Last fall, the Sonoma County DA used federal grant money to create a PSA campaign about fentanyl, including the story of a mom who lost a daughter to an overdose at a playground. The problem? That story was completely fabricated. For @norcalpublic

[Morgan Godvin @MorganGodvin]

The PR firm who designed a fentanyl PSA admitted the story of a 6-year old overdosing at a playground was “fabricated.”

No shame.

“We were trying to be creative,.. We're trying to elicit emotion. I think the campaign did a very good job of accomplishing that.’”

Oh boy. Today, police announced that they did not give a breathalyzer exam to the St. Louis police officer who crashed into my clients bar bc other officers determined he was not impaired. Well here video of him running a red light seconds before he crashed into Bar:PM 1

Ricky Dale Harrington vs. Tom Cotton for senate in Arkansas. Cotton is currently polling under 50% Ducking the debate was a bad move, because Harrington looked like a star.

Price gouging? Or effective rationing?

Price controls are a bad idea. https://t.co/GXOhO7qf0C

So as it turns out, the practice of letting sheriffs keep for themselves any excess funds designated for feeding jail inmates . . . has led to some problems.
