The Missouri Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on Monday in the case of Marcellus Williams, who is facing execution for the 1998 stabbing death of Lisha Gayle in University City, Missouri. Williams, who has maintained his innocence, is scheduled to be executed by injection on Tuesday evening.

Williams' attorneys have raised questions about DNA evidence, leading to a previous stay of execution in 2017. The current prosecutor in St. Louis County has also challenged Williams' guilt in a recent court hearing.
