TFA is published by The Innocence Project, which obviously only presents one side of the story.
I was also using a statement from the governor,
https://governor.mo.gov/press-releases/archive/state-carry-out-sentence-mr-marcellus-williams-according-supreme-court https://governor.mo.gov/press-releases/archive/state-carry-o...
who makes some assertions which contradict the innocence project's.
- jasonlotito 2y agoDid they explain why they convened a board to research the topic to get to the bottom of this and then disbanded the board before they finished? Seems kind of shady when the government says "We are not sure, we need to do more research before we do this" and then never actually do that research and just kill someone? Either you trust the government, and agree that they should have waited. Or you don't trust the government, in which case you really can't trust them to kill someone. So which is it?
- awb 2y agoThe previous governor stayed the execution and created the commission to investigate which lasted 6 years until the new governor was elected. The new governor disbanded the commission. They were from different political parties and probably had different views on the death penalty / the use of state resources.
- jasonlotito 2y agoSo you agree they should have waited. Gotcha. Thanks!
