URGENT: Save Marcellus Williams From Unjust Execution Now!
To: Pres. Biden
From: A verified voter in Littleton, CO
September 24
I am writing to urgently plead for your immediate intervention in the case of Marcellus Williams, who is scheduled for execution in Missouri despite clear evidence of his innocence. DNA evidence exists that exonerates Mr. Williams, and yet, Missouri is moving forward with this irreversible and unjust action.
This case reflects the grave failures of our justice system, including racial bias and prosecutorial errors, disproportionately affecting Black men and marginalized communities. The unjust killing of Mr. Williams at the hands of the state would further erode trust in a system that already systematically devalues the lives of people of color. Such an act would send a chilling message that even when evidence proves innocence, justice can still be denied.
Your intervention today could prevent this miscarriage of justice and demonstrate the government’s commitment to protecting the most vulnerable from state-sanctioned violence.
Please take immediate action to stop this execution and demand a thorough review of all evidence.
