Great overview of the case at the link. "Regardless of your underlying feelings about the death penalty, [...] there should be unanimity on this point: We should not and must not kill anyone when there is compelling evidence of actual innocence."

Imagine being executed for a crime that you didn’t commit. That’s exactly what will happen to @innocence and @the_mip client #MarcellusWilliams, if millions of supporters do not weigh in to stop this. Add your name to #SaveMarcellus today: https://t.co/n4T9rptcSV

@BekkahWelsh I also had both in two of my three pregnancies, though unconfirmed in my third as cholestasis symptoms were just starting when they decided to induce because of the preeclampsia. There is a nonprofit called ICP Care - they have an IG account and also a private Facebook group.
