Missouri Supreme Court is set to hear last-minute arguments in Marcellus Williams' case.
The Missouri Supreme Court is set to hear last-minute arguments on Monday to consider the death row case of Marcellus Williams, just one day before his scheduled execution.Oral arguments are set to take place Monday morning before the Missouri Supreme Court as Williams' attorneys fight to halt his execution. The 55-year-old inmate is scheduled for lethal injection on Tuesday evening for the 1998 stabbing of Lisha Gayle, a social worker and a former journalist in suburban St. Louis.
Monday's hearing comes after the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People last week also urged Parson to intervene to halt Williams' execution, highlighting the racial dynamics of the case—Williams is Black, while Gayle was white.Parson has so far granted clemency in none of the 11 executions during his tenure as governor.Last month, an evidentiary hearing was expected to be held to reassess Williams' guilt.
