ASSOCIATED PRESS: Exonerees call on Missouri Republican attorney general to stop fighting innocence claims
"Exonerees and advocates on Thursday called out Missouri’s Republican attorney general for pushing for a man’s impending execution despite efforts by the local prosecutor to overturn the man’s murder conviction.
Marcellus Williams is scheduled to die Sept. 24...
Ray Krone, a co-founder of Witness to Innocence, a group that advocates for death row prisoners who might have been wrongfully convicted, called on Bailey to 'reverse course' and 'support people with serious innocence claims, like Mr. Williams.'
Krone and other advocates spoke to reporters in the state Capitol building flanked by signs that read, 'You can release an innocent man from prison, but you can’t release him from the grave.'"
