South Carolina Executes First Man in 13 Years Despite New Evidence of Innocence
--Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah, 46, killed by lethal injection days after states key witness recanted critical testimony Missouri Executes Marcellus Williams Despite PROSECUTORS Objections and Innocence Claims --Prosecutors raise concerns about lack of evidence AND had admitted it was WRONG The Guardian 25 SEP 2024 ![]() South Carolina executed a man on death row on Friday, days after the key witness for the prosecution came forward to say he had lied at trial and the state was putting to death an innocent man. Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah, 46, was killed by lethal injection, pronounced dead at 6.55pm, according to the Associated Press, which was one of several media witnesses to the execution. His lawyers had filed emergency motions for a delay this week, citing new testimony suggesting he had been wrongfully convicted. But the state supreme court rejected the pleas and Henry McMaster, the Republican governor, announced just before the execution that he would not be granting clemency. Allah, who was previously known as Freddie Owens, was strapped to a gurney in the death chamber when the curtain opened for media to view the proceeding, the AP reported. He appeared to mouth a goodbye to his lawyer, who smiled at him. Allah seemed to lose consciousness after roughly one minute. Missouri Man Executed After Long Fight for Exoneration ![]() Marcellus Williams, who was convicted of a 1998 murder in suburban St. Louis, maintained he was innocent. But the courts and the governor were not persuaded. The state of Missouri executed Marcellus Williams on Tuesday evening by lethal injection, over the objections of the local prosecutor whose office obtained Mr. Williamss murder conviction in 2003. Mr. Williams, who for decades maintained his innocence, had in recent days sought clemency from the governor and a stay of execution from the State Supreme Court. But on Monday, both the governor, Mike Parson, and the State Supreme Court turned him down, and on Tuesday the U.S. Supreme Court, his last hope, declined to intervene. He was pronounced dead at 6:10 p.m. at a state prison in Bonne Terre, the Missouri Department of Corrections said in a statement. Mr. Williams lawyer, Tricia Rojo Bushnell of the Midwest Innocence Project, said it was unjust to execute a man when the prosecutors office had admitted it was WRONG.. Both Innocent Men Were Black |
