Amnesty International, USA, August 17, 2017
Marcellus Williams, aged 48, is due to be executed in Missouri on August 22nd for a 1998 murder. He maintains his innocence of the crime. An African American, he was tried before an almost all-white jury. Two of the four federal judges to review his case have concluded that he received constitutionally inadequate representation at his sentencing. Please call Governor Eric Greitens as soon as possible and ask him to stop the execution of Marcellus Williams and commute his death sentence.
