No matter the politics of the moment, we doubled down on fairness, accuracy, reliability, and accountability in the administration of the criminal legal system. Today is no different, writes @innocence executive director @ChristinaSwarns. https://t.co/ZFr9UFJrR5

With less than 24 hours before his execution, #RobertRoberson has been subpoenaed to testify before a Texas House committee that is reconsidering the lawfulness of his conviction.

⏳ We’re down to the final hours. As of now, #RobertRoberson is scheduled to be executed TODAY, Oct. 17th, at 6 p.m. CT — for a crime that never happened. ⁠

Travesty.

BREAKING: The @USSupremeCourt has denied a stay of execution and declined to grant review to Marcellus Williams, allowing his execution to go forward at 6 p.m. CT today. https://t.co/Nv50v0LUp8

The jurors, prosecutors and victim’s family in #MarcellusWilliams' case are all supporting his bid for clemency, which has been denied by Missouri’s Republican governor and state Supreme Court. https://t.co/xQshScdNRG

[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]

BREAKING: Despite widespread support for clemency based on serious doubts about the integrity of Marcellus Williams’ conviction and death sentence, @GovParsonMO has denied clemency to Marcellus, who is scheduled to be executed tomorrow at 6 p.m. CT. https://t.co/E59wbuj6UR

[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

@AmtrakNECAlerts I am unable to message you because I am ‘unverified.’ Could you please message me to begin the convo? Thank you.

BREAKING: The Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, scheduled an Aug. 21 hearing to assess the “clear and convincing evidence” of actual innocence of #MarcellusWilliams’s wrongful conviction and death sentence. https://t.co/TmoM6lXAzG

[Jaime S. Henderson @dr_hendies]

Unconscionable.

[Innocence Project @innocence]

Breaking: Texas set Oct. 17 execution date for #RobertRoberson, an innocent person wrongly convicted under the debunked shaken baby hypothesis. The court set the execution date without granting Robert’s previously-filed request for a hearing.

How is ‘justice’ executing a human for whom there is DNA evidence proving innocence? Mercy. We must do better. Be better. Please act now - see the original post for ways you can help!

[Innocence Project @innocence]

"To date, no court has ever reviewed the DNA evidence proving [Marcellus Williams' innocence]. Yet, the State successfully sought an execution date, highlighting the system’s emphasis on finality over innocence. That is not justice," wrote his lawyers. https://t.co/ViZKTstEAm
