Missouri governor stays execution of Marcellus Williams

Missouri inmate Marcellus Williams was granted a stay on his execution after new DNA evidence cast doubts on his guilt. Williams was scheduled to be executed Tuesday night for the 1998 death of Felicia Gayle. However, new technology not available during Williams trial showed that DNA on the murder knife belonged to an unknown male. Aug 23, 2017
