It's been 20 years since TX executed Cameron Todd Willingham on junk arson science. Now it's ready to kill Robert Roberson on similarly debunked forensic evidence--and despite a state law passed to prevent such miscarriages of justice. w/Jordan Smith: theintercept.com/2024/09/09/tex…
It is worth emphasizing that this is the result of the MO AG's meddling in this case. Andrew Bailey is the one -- the ONLY one -- pushing for Marcellus Williams's execution. My latest The Intercept theintercept.com/2024/09/12/mar…
“We’ve known for 100 years that lead is a toxin that has very serious health effects especially for developing fetuses, children, and pregnant women, but we’ve really dropped the ball as a country in truly protecting people from exposure,” said Eve Gartner of Earthjustice.

Missouri Kills Marcellus Williams Over Objections From Prosecutor and Victim’s Family interc.pt/3MZaspj by Jordan Smith interc.pt/3MZaspj
MO AG Andrew Bailey ushered this execution. He & Gov. Mike Parson dismissed questions about racism and state-tainted evidence. No worry, they say, they know Marcellus Williams was guilty. Must be nice to be so sure of things My latest The Intercept theintercept.com/2024/09/25/mar…

Last week the TX Court of Criminal Appeals ruled a man convicted on the junk science of Shaken Baby Syndrome deserved a new trial. In Roberson's case, they've decided SBS is totes legit. If this makes no sense to you, all I can say is: Welcome to the CCA. theintercept.com/2024/10/16/tex…
