The female incarcerated population stands almost 7X higher than in 1980. Research on female incarceration is critical to understanding the full consequences of mass incarceration & to unraveling policies and practices that lead to their criminalization. sentencingproject.org/fact-sheet/inc…

Despite admissions of serious prosecutorial misconduct, including improper handling of evidence, #MarcellusWilliams is still facing execution in four days. His last chance is for @GovParsonMO to intervene. Call, tweet, and e-mail Gov. Parson now and urge him to stop the execution

Marcellus Williams has been on death row for 23 years proclaiming his innocence for the murder of reporter Felicia Gayle in 1998. The crime scene had tons of forensic evidence: fingerprints, footprints, hair, and even DNA on the murder weapon. None of it matches Williams.

#MarcellusWilliams faces execution on 9/24 for a crime that DNA proves he didn’t commit. Join me, Innocence Project, and Midwest Innocence Project in taking action to prevent this irreversible injustice. #SaveMarcellus shorturl.at/elnIN

This is appalling! No one with the power to do what is right has stepped up and done so…. Kamala Harris Tim Walz Joe Biden You need to step in and stop an innocent man from being murdered for a crime he didn’t commit!!! We know wrongful convictions happen… help!!

Here are the people who want Marcellus Williams to receive clemency: — The victim’s family — The prosecutors — Members of the jury If @GovParsonMO allows this execution to take place he will have blood on his hands.

The Prosecutor,The victims family, The innocence proj & so many others (who have reviewed evidence) say it should be stopped! THOUSANDS have reached out & demand it be stopped. YET SCOTUS, the state Supreme Court & the Gov deny basic humanity!

SCOTUS 6-3 decision to refuse a stay of execution for Marcus Williams is a testament to our justice system’s failure. NO DNA evidence linking him to the crime!only questionable witnesses—this is a shameful endorsement of state-sanctioned murder….(copied)

Missouri executes Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors and the victim's family asking that he be spared cnn.it/4edMnr2

May those who had the power to help an innocent man & didn’t reap what they have sown. We pray peace and comfort for the William’s family 🙏🥲

Truth! We fight for a system that is just. Today that dream seems very far off.

People should be held accountable for the crimes they commit. They should not be punished for crimes they did not commit. #beyondlwop penncapital-star.com/civil-rights-s…

We are devastated to hear today’s tragedy. We are praying for the Hortman & Hoffman families as well as for our lawmakers. We are Blessed to have seen the depths of the friendships within the walls of the capital & we pray for all of our lawmakers for safety and comfort.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled the state’s new aiding and abetting felony murder statute is constitutional over the objections of some prosecutors. fox9.com/news/new-minne…

A great piece on the absurdity of this law. MN we have more work to do!Though we have started to limit the law… there are others that still use the expansive liability (609.05 (2)) to continue to unjustly apply those doctrine wrongfully to people. Clare Oumou Verbeten Cedrick Frazier
