Holy shit, even the prosecutors have concerns? When they have concerns about the punishment, you know you seriously screwed up and need to reevaluate.

If they know he's innocent and they kill him anyways, that sounds like murder.

Missouri’s Republican attorney general, Andrew Bailey, has fought to allow the execution to proceed.

"The attorney general’s office, who had nothing to do with this whatsoever, are the ones who are trying to lead him to the death chamber. It’s pretty startling and extraordinary.”

I recognize that this is a horrible tragedy for this man and his family, and I hope there is somehow a last-second reprieve, but let this be yet another reminder - R is the party for those with no empathy, no compassion, no concern for anyone not like them. (and that includes the ones jumping from Trump's sinking ship to cozy up to Harris.) If a Republican is running for any position in your town, any at all, vote for someone else.

It's too late, they killed him despite the prosecutors and victims family and DNA evidence all pointing towards his innocence. I have seen stories about him everywhere for the last week but apparently Missouri isn't bothered by negative press, they just love killing black people. An aptly named state; I hope its residents riot but I've been to St. Louis and know better than that. I'm afraid this is the new status quo.

The "pro life" party sure seems to get something out of killing people

The "pro-life" party is filled with genocide apologists, pedophiles, and murderers.

Well, I mean, they don't want to appear lenient on the wrongfully convicted.

Isn't this the same attorney general that refused to release prisoners that had been exonerated?

Mike Parson is a murderer. RIP Marcellus.

You would think they would never execute someone without conclusive undeniable evidence. Yet here we are.

So at what point can this just be called what it is? Murder. A republican is trying to take advantage of his position to murder a black man.

What is the even the point of the justice system then???

Andrew Bailey is the absolute worst and wasn't even elected. He was appointed by the governor after his predecessor was elected to the Senate. Somehow it looks like he is going to win in November which is so depressing.

When prosecutors make the argument... JFC

Our legal system is an abortion

At which point do we start calling Andrew Bailey what he is, a murderer?

"Fuck the facts, kill the man and we'll talk later"

Man do the Republicans / GOP / Conservatives / Religions right L O V E violence. They absolutely love it.

Abolish capital punishment!

The attorney general argued in court that the prosecutor at the time denied racial motivations for removing Black jurors and asserted there was nothing improper about touching the murder weapon without gloves at the time.

The attorney general is an idiot and lacking in basic evidence collection knowledge.

Thanks, I prefer Australia where only the plants and animals try to kill you.

Executing INNOCENT People is called being PRO LIFE Libtards!

"Tough on crime, damn the torpedoes, full speed!"

My guess: elections are almost here, so that need to be "tough on crime." This is just despicable
