50] – On Thurs., Aug. 1 at noon ET, Witness
to Innocence will hold a press conference in Jefferson City, Missouri, where
exonerees from across the nation will speak out against Missouri Attorney
General Andrew Bailey’s alarming push to execute Marcellus ‘Khaliifah’
Williams, an innocent man. Despite clear DNA evidence that exonerates Mr.
Williams, the state is pressing forward with plans to execute him on September
24th. Join in on Facebook to hear
directly from exonerees like Joseph Amrine, who spent 17 years on death row in
Missouri before being exonerated. Their powerful testimonies will highlight the
devastating human consequences of wrongful convictions and the urgent need for
justice in Khaliifah’s case. Go to https://www.facebook.com/witnesstoinnocence?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=f52fd405-afd9-4e10-96e6-a5a65b833b2b
