You missed one--the Marcellus Williams case SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED HERE. I am not professing this man's guilt or innocence. What I am insisting is that his execution should've been commuted to life in prison based on very questionable evidence collection. Justice was not served. September 24th was a dark (but not surprising) day in the American justice system. #marcelluswilliams #NoJustice
