Black in America
@FeebleAntelope
It is wild to me that the governor and the Supreme Court do not care about rule of law or the 8th Amendment.
@clemie370
did we not learn from the central park 5
@mmarikar27
What injustice! They went ahead with the execution even after the prosecution admitted errors and also ignoring the pleas of the victim's family for a stay order on the execution. The American justice system is corrupt and unjust.
@ZunamiRevert
Prosecutors: We made a mistake and he is innocent, please let him go.
State: Okay that makes sense, he’s an innocent man, should be released, possibly compensated. So we respectfully deny your request to free him. Although we understand he may have had nothing to do with the crime, we feel his life is forfeited in the basis that you made a mistake decades ago.
@davidperry4013
Death penalty needs to be abolished.
@javiismael1480
So he was killed by corrupt judges or whoever made that decision
@shanasmith4176
Missouri should be ashamed for what they just done
@shanasmith4176
This is heartbreakin beyond words
prayers for
Mr. Williams's family
@shanasmith4176
I am so sorry that this happened to this innocent gentleman
Prayers for his family
@Markie222
This hurt
@PistolP33
How DARE they execute a black man!!! Racist!!!!
@dantesc2520
How is he innocent? The knife as murder weapon. There's her blood on the blade and his finger print on the handle of the same knife he stabbed.
@KhadraArtan
Look at the world we’re living in today.
@Deedz1st
Allah is with the patient
@warsyi1856
Hey America, why are your laws so weird?
@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN
I don’t know if innocent or guilty, God will figure it out.😅
@shrouksalama9777
Interesting! Out of the five people to be executed this week 3 are black
@33Donner77
I saw the crime scene photos – victim stabbed 43 times – and Marcellus (with prior criminal records) in possession of the victim's laptop. Then there is the witness testimony. If you wanted Marcellus, you could have him – but you never want to be responsible for a criminal's future actions.
@stevensupreme781
Let's make sure this governor DOESN'T get reelected!🤨🤬😠😡😤
@TiaraPace-rk3jy
So there are new evidence couldn’t even help him I wonder if his family can sue the state of Missouri
@smokewihhduhhsc0p362

Pure racism. An innocent black man was lynched by an all white mob tonight.
@angeliquelowery6063
This world is soooooo upside and evil. It’s taking everything to not cry at work for this man…😞
@bread-lk9mi
Proof that y’all don’t want sh&^ fixed. Y’all just sit behind screens and a desks all day but y’all won’t actually get out there and fix anything
@samiracabdalla7514
Rahi ma hu Allah
@scott83gmail
Typical suspect. Innocent black man
@ElRadioDJ913
The Missouri Governor allowed that to happen.
@doja954
Stay out the streets, stay around trustworthy family, and definitely stay away from our whyte haters
@RuddBoy3996
He Black👈🏾 I don't want to here this ain't about race . It's time Weeeeee keep 💩 honest 😂 or Lie. 💪🏾🇺🇸
@bluefire10169
A republican governor and court. Why are any of you surprised?
@stevestevenson6389
Clear cut murder
@johnskylez
This is murder. His blood is on their hands.
@SelfHandledRogue

@OTG5agXhaser
Y’all gotta wake up 👁️
@MargaretLewis-og9gi
Vote them out 😂😢😅
@valward4314
They didn’t wanna pay him for wrongful conviction . This is a sick racist country
@Mimi-nn8px
Not only they stole his freedom and loched him for 24 years but they also k*ll*d him
@volitiveclover
So they never proved he was guilty…
@Taylor_Lifts
All the democrats in the comments is the reason crime is the way it is. Lol
@AnAdorableWombat1
He was guilty. The prosecutor lied . It only became racial when he was sentenced to death. It wasn’t before. And no one fell for it. They exhausted every other option to prove his innocence and the last resort was to make it racial! It failed and the courts didn’t buy it😂
@VascoZaharra
Let Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha, and Vishnu sort this out…….
@victoriahollinger-qj5bw
vote that governor out that was murder
@ytbmQC
Its islamaphobia in broad day life
@wittyvonskitsum
Bro I thought they got Marcellus Wallace 😂
@reemagee4828
So, the family will never see justice because he was convicted and executed for this crime.
@larryarguijo9870
It is that important for state officials to not concede a conviction…meanwhile the real murderer is grateful the case is closed
@calmdown2876
In the Missouri system there is no such thing as a innocent African American man. I have been to Missouri and Missouri is an apartheid state.
