The state of Missouri has executed Marcellus Williams, despite the prosecution asking for a stay due to him potentially being innocent.

This. This is why I am vehemently against the death penalty.

100%. I don't really have a moral issue with executing people who have committed particularly hanus crimes, if we can be absolutely certain they did it and it can bring some degree of peace to the victim's family. But there are WAY too many cases of posthumous acquittal, and even 1 case is too many.

Agree completely. Just so you know, it's spelled "heinous"
