MISSOURI INDEPENDENT: Death row exonerees urge Missouri AG to consider Marcellus Williams’ innocence
"As [Attorney General] Bailey works to secure victory in Tuesday’s primary election, the four exonerees gathered in the Capitol to put renewed focus on an Aug. 21 hearing to determine whether Marcellus Williams is innocent in the death of Lisha Gayle.
Williams is scheduled to be executed Sept. 24
Herman Lindsey, executive director of Witness to Innocence and a former death row inmate, said Williams deserves an opportunity to prove his innocence in court...
Lindsey said Bailey is employing campaign-style, tough-on-crime tactics in order to score a victory.
'This win-at-all-cost mentality does not serve the people,' Lindsey said."
