The difference is by design.

I pray that Marcellus Williams feels no pain and that he feels no fear. My heart hurts and I can’t say that the system failed him because the system was never created to save people who look like him. A system that perpetuates this is a system that should not exist.

“Khaliifah is a kind and thoughtful man, who spent his last years supporting those around him in his role as Imam. We will remember him for his deeply evocative poetry and his love for and service to his family and his community … The world will be a worse place without him," said Tricia Rojo Bushnell, his lawyer.

The death penalty is flawed, racist, and unjust.

It has no place in America or anywhere else in the world.

Abolish it.

What does it say about our legal system when the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to stop an execution even when the county prosecuting agency that handled the original trial files a brief in support of a stay and supports vacating the entire conviction? #MarcellusWilliams

[Innocence Project @innocence]

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

#MarcellusWilliams is subject to be executed at 6PM central time, for the rest of us just shy of 2.5 hours from now.

@GovParsonMO Please, please stop this injustice.

There is still time to do the right thing, @GovParsonMO

My heart breaks hearing Marcellus Williams’ son talk about potentially having to watch his father executed today 💔

Marcellus Williams' execution would be a travesty and a miscarriage of justice. His questionable conviction--including DNA evidence pointing to his innocence--makes a clear case that Gov. Parson must halt this execution. The state cannot--must not--take an innocent life.

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

It’s outrageous that Missouri is so close to executing Marcellus Williams. He was convicted at a trial where prosecutors intentionally struck at least one Black person from the jury pool. Witnesses were paid to point the finger at Marcellus. His DNA is not on the murder weapon.

[Saurah @saurahsaurus]

@GovParsonMO Please do the right thing while you still can. History has its eyes on you. @innocence #MarcellusWilliams

[Saurah @saurahsaurus]

@GovParsonMO, please do not let Missouri execute
@innocence @the_MIP client #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent person — where there is overwhelming evidence that his trial was constitutionally unfair — on 9/24. https://t.co/D1wqhwuBTz
