Our North Carolina friends are asking the state to safely release folks in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, just as it did during the pandemic. No running water or sewage in many facilities. Understaffing. Overcrowding. Poor conditions affect everyone. newsobserver.com/news/state/nor…

Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams should be alive today. In a country that aspires to fulfill the promise of equal justice under law, there should be no place for the death penalty, a barbaric anachronism that does nothing to keep people safe. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-culture/…

Our Just Sentencing Project Ben Finholt speaks today at @theCFSY convening on the role courts can have in reducing JLWOP. Ben notes that courts can shift from a punitive mindset & that there is a corrosive effect on kids & families when courts tell kids they can’t ever be better.

Over thirty were exonerated by post-conviction DNA testing. It is entirely possible, if not likely, that Mr. Williams should have been one of those people. We mourn his execution and grieve for his family. 4/4

The imposition of the death penalty is used disproportionately against Black people and in poorer counties. Two hundred people have been exonerated in death penalty cases in the United States. 3/4

We are deeply saddened and disturbed that the state of Missouri executed Marcellus “Khalifa” Williams yesterday evening, over the wishes of the prosecutor’s office. The Missouri Governor, Missouri Attorney General’s Office, & SCOTUS all failed to act to prevent this tragedy. 1/4

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of. ⁠ Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life.⁠ innocenceproject.org/petitions/stop…
