Missouri's Republican Attorney General is under fire for his role in the impending execution of Marcellus Williams, despite efforts by the local prosecutor to overturn Williams' murder conviction. Williams is scheduled to be executed on Sept. 24, following a hearing to determine his innocence.
The Attorney General's office has pushed back against the hearing, citing the state Supreme Court's rejection of Williams' innocence claims. Advocates, including former death row inmates, have called on the Attorney General to reconsider his stance and support individuals with credible innocence claims.
