Missouri intends to execute our client Marcellus Williams on Tuesday for a crime he did not commit. NAACP President Derrick Johnson is urging Gov. Mike Parson to halt the execution, saying it would amount to a “horrible miscarriage of justice."

NAACP president urges Missouri governor to halt Marcellus Williams execution next week

"Taking the life of Marcellus Williams would be an unequivocal statement that when a white woman is killed, a Black man must die. And any Black man will do," wrote NAACP president Derrick Johnson.
