A Missouri death row inmate, Marcellus Williams, is facing execution for the 1998 stabbing death of Lisha Gayle in a St. Louis suburb. Williams, who has maintained his innocence, recently had a breakthrough in his case with the discovery of new DNA evidence.
Recent DNA testing revealed that Williams' DNA was not found on the murder weapon, raising questions about his conviction. However, a twist in the case occurred when it was discovered that the DNA evidence had been contaminated, casting doubt on its reliability.
