DNA evidence clears black man of crime, Missouri still going ahead with execution

Time for an ALL BLACK American Homeland
Breh good luck. Why should we leave somewhere my folks help build? I walk the acres my fam owns. If ownership is important why not buy farm and build here?
An innocent person should never be executed but the below needs to be explained:
"The non-DNA evidence includes a laptop belonging to the victim's husband, which Williams sold and police recovered, and some of the victim's personal items, which police found in the trunk of the car Williams drove, according to court documents."
Unless the cops planted that non-DNA evidence...

This is what they are using to argue that non-DNA evidence supports the conviction.
"Williams had also sold a laptop stolen from Gayle's home, Hawley's office wrote in the filings, and items belonging to Gayle were found in a car Williams drove the day she was killed." Along with the totally incredible jail house snitch and crackhead prostitute.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that she knew the victim. 40 stab wounds is overkill and indicative of and emotional act rather than a calculated one.

I'm all for the support of innocent people but I don't have murdered peoples possessions in my car or in my house.
If I did, either I know who killed them or I did.
He possibly may have received the goods as stolen from the house. If that was the case, he should've snitched a long time ago.
If the defendant sold these items, then could this conclusion be the result of the report by the crackhead/jailhouse snitch that had these items?

ST. LOUIS COUNTY — The state’s high court has blocked a judge’s decision to save a man from the death penalty and instead ordered a hearing on the evidence of the case.
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled late Wednesday, just hours after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s office asked the court to intervene in the case of Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams, who faces execution next month for the 1998 stabbing death of a St. Louis County woman.
Bailey’s request to the high court came Wednesday afternoon, in response to St. Louis County Judge Bruce Hilton’s decision to accept a surprise consent decree and vacate Williams’ original 2001 first-degree murder conviction. Williams then entered an Alford plea to the first-degree murder charge, which means he maintains his innocence but agrees to forgo a trial and accept a recommended sentence — in this case, life in prison without parole.
The consent decree came after hours of closed door talks amongst attorneys, who were supposed to be holding a public evidentiary hearing to prove Williams was innocent of the crime.
Williams is slated to be sentenced Thursday morning so that the family of Lisha Gayle, who was killed when she was stabbed 43 times in her suburban home in August 1998, could make a statement in court.
The writ from the Missouri Supreme Court commands Hilton to set aside the consent order and instead hold the previously scheduled evidentiary hearing, allowing Bailey’s office to participate.
The court said Hilton is then to rule on Williams’ innocence based on the findings in that hearing.
The writ said that if Hilton doesn’t set aside the decree and hold the hearing, he must file an argument to the Missouri Supreme Court showing why the court shouldn’t force him to.
In January, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell’s office filed to vacate Williams’ conviction, arguing his innocence would be proven because his DNA was not on the murder weapon.
But DNA test results that were returned Monday showed that the kitchen knife had DNA samples on it that were consistent with that of chief investigator Edward Magee, who worked on the original trial. One other DNA profile did not belong to Williams, and forensics could not exclude the case’s original prosecutor Keith Larner from being a possible match.
“DNA evidence developed did not fully support our initial conclusion,” said Matthew Jacober, special counsel for Bell’s office. “Additional investigating and testing demonstrated that the evidence was not handled properly at the time of his conviction. As a result, DNA was likely removed and added between 1998 and 2001.”
Williams maintains his innocence. He is set to be executed Sept. 24.

Man this is come bullshit
The evidence was handled improperly.....
The damn prosecutor wants to vacate his sentence and send him home. The state SC said no, then in a last ditch effort to save his life he agreed to al Alford plea, (I maintain my innocence, but will accept a guilty charge in exchange for a life sentence.) The state SC again says no..........?!!
Now, they want a public hearing and a decision to be made the same day the hearing concludes.....
What other evidence do they have if the damn prosecutor was willing to let the man go home?!!

The title of this thread is misleading because that lack of evidence doesn't prove anything, for example, if I were to shoot someone and there weren't any fingerprints on the gun this doesn't mean I am innocent, nor does it imply that I am guilty. All it does is make the prosecution case that much harder to prove guilty.
That said if there was no other corroborating evidence, plus no DNA then reasonable doubt would be established, however in this particular case other than what you just brought up, I don't know enough about the case to declare him innocent or not. Maybe someone more familiar with the presented evidence could fill us in so that we can make a better-informed decision about the trial.
The way this case is being treated got me hotter than fish grease.
I am not even attempting to make sense of it or give it too much energy because there is no sanity to the system of whiteness.

They will not.
Respectfully, what most of us, around the world. fail to understand about white Americans is this:
The nation is at least 35-40% straight up racist. They view neither you nor I as fully human. Only human enough to satiate
their prurient indulgences, hence the history of rape since the time of slavery.
These people do not execute Black people out of a sense of justice. I argue it is ritual; it assures the community at large, even though it may not do so explicitly, that at the end of the day, the White Man is still in charge in America.
Given the above, I further argue that the murder of this man--that is what it is if they ignore exonerating evidence in favor of execution--is not something actually connected with crime and punishment in the minds of those who want to kill him.
They are not doing this because it is the law. They are doing it because they can.
Arguments to the contrary welcome.
I said the state is not going to turn blue, but it could make things a little interesting around the edges
The system in Missouri has so little to gain from moving forward with the execution at this point. Granted, I don't live there and know nothing of it's pop. or politics - taking all of the info from the commissions that were previously requested would just benefit anyone currently associated with their system on a local an national level. Unfortunately, if they also have nothing to lose this election year - the life of a black man is soon forgotten by people and the outside media.
How is this legal
If white people run the highest court in the land or the state and they don't deem it illegal, then it's legal. They can do whatever they want to you if the courts say it's okay.
The same reason it was legal to lynch people in the '30s. Black people can't call nobody but Ghostbusters and they don't show up most of the time
They show us who they are every time
But voting doesn't matter
those cacs
I hate to be that guy but
What Kamala and Joe doing about this? You can’t tell me they don’t know what’s going on
Where’s the outrage from the locals
