#Missouri #MarcellusWilliams #Prison
Humans are way too irresponsible to use capital punishment properly.
I would agree but only from the standpoint that it takes too long.
And way too emotional. If facts, and even DNA can’t save anyone, what hope do we have?
@@bobfeller604 you’re a monster
Yh I agree, it’s a very controversial topic that probably doesn’t have a right answer and is very contextual, but me personally I don’t think the death penalty achieves anything that you couldn’t get from a proper prison system.
@@hi12235 he was never proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, by the definition set forth by our established justice system, Khalifa was innocent. Now whether this individual was a good man, that is irrelevant. We don’t execute people based on if they are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. We use the US penal code sentencing guidelines, established by legislation, to administer appropriate justice. We should not deviate from the agreed upon justice system. It works really well when applied correctly. But we must hold all people to the same standard, not ‘worse for certain types of people’ and ‘better for others’
That’s BS!
Missouri's attorney general must be investigated and all his financial records too.
The AG needs to be tried.
Really shocked America refuses to bring out the guillotines. For people so obsessed with freedom you guys sure love your government, your law enforcement, your legal system, and especially your rich trampling all over you and your rights. Pretty pathetic.
This attorney general needs to be arrested and put in prison
Try it.
Don’t worry. Karma is coming for him
What horrible corruption!!! How can they live with themselves?
Convictions aren't the same as justice. The AG should be seeking justice - period. If it is unjust to keep an innocent person in captivity - what the AG should be seeking is to rectify the wrongdoing, not to uphold injustices.
Sad part we all see the racist government in Missouri
😭😭
Based on this, these are criminals, not officials
I’m sad to be Missourian with a silly AG like this. What a fool. He’s a real pos.
he's going to answer to god for this!!! PATHETIC
Theyd rather keep the injustice over getting sued. Corruption is all about the money.
Judge knows the dirt in the system and probably against the dirt by the sounds of it .
So In other words I’ll never go to Missouri! It don’t matter if you guilty or not , if they having a bad day your life is over and it’s no changing their mind . Noted!!!
Not his DNA was found. This case had a bad judge and a lawyer.
*his DNA wasn't found*
why not just speak normal English? You broken?🤏🏻🧠🧑🦽?
Learn english.
@@girloninternet1188hazbin hotel pfp detected. Opinion rejected
That was someone else’s dna.
Don't forget the governor too.
AG thinks he is God and his ego has harmed many
If they can't "solve problems" they have no business dispatching justice.
Ban death penalty
I disagree, but ban it when they don't have 💯 untainted evidence, and the convicted isn't 💯 guilty... This man was did unjustly and everyone knows it... The prosecutor cares more about his conviction rating than a human life, which makes him a empty shell or narcissist...
@@crosbyllc5426 yup
@@crosbyllc5426 The prosecutor was trying to change his sentence to life in prison instead of the death penalty. A$$ Bailey is the one who torpedoed that and the governor made sure he died.

@@crosbyllc5426 No one should have the right to take someone's life. If anything people should get life imprisonment in isolation.
this man needs to be removed from his position
State just committed murder
Judge's rarely change the sentence of someone convicted when it's an election year
This attorney is very heartless and evil 😠
@@Anniediva_official all the attorneys, including prosecutors, wanted the case dismissed. The family of the victim SIGNED THE PETITION to stop the execution. Congress urged the attorney general and the Governor to stop (stay the execution again). This man was innocent in the eyes of the law. This is a sad day for humanity.
Get that AG out of there asap
That AG needs some prunes in his diet. Thats the look of constipation.
They gotta take a serious look at this case and they gotta get it right and they gotta pause everything while it all plays out
Instead of y’all focusing on the election to much y’all should be looking into who running y’all city’s and states
Racist in high office nothing new to see here a time honored tradition
Show me state show me compassion show me show me!
more like show me the way out!!!!😂
He should be fired
If you are in Missouri, vote his a** out!
This is why state and local elections are important. Dont complain, vote
Bailey needs to go!
In November vote for Elad Gross for Attorney General. He will work for the people.
MISSOURI VOTERS???
Right here and ashamed by this! Yikes. Yet we still have a man in prison for life bc he touched a levee in the nineties.
And DAS LIKE HIM TAINT EVIDENCE OR PLANT EVIDENCE...
If you support capital punishment, but are also pro life , I not only pray for your soul, but I also hope you understand that you are the cause of the fracture that’s widening in our Union.
Vote these demons out !
Well that’s one less city to visit
Get him out
If the victims family requests a stay they should be granted that request since there the victims family
Ya, but Andrew Baily loves Jesus.
Release him😭😭
Release him? He was involved in this woman’s murder yes he shouldn’t get the needle 💉 but he deserves life
@@SJB0126Explain the DNA not matching then
@@whotfisjason7870
We have to judge cases based on the standards of what was conceivable at the time. It's one thing if we find new evidence that changes our opinion. This is why the defense appealed & requested DNA testing to be done on the murder weapon to prove innocence, since this was not available during the original trial. That's not what happened here. They didn’t find anything useful for the defense. His DNA not matching the murder weapon does not prove his innocence, in a lot of cases perpetrators don’t always leave DNA to be found by forensic testing, but are still found guilty by creating beyond reasonable doubt.
Someone else’s print DNA on the murder weapon also doesn’t explain the confession Williams’ gave to the two people who testified against him (although both who testified also had motives for the incentives involved), the presence of the victims property in his car, the testimony of the individual who purchased the victim’s laptop from the defendant, and much more other things. All of this isn’t evidence of actual innocence, it isn’t reasonable doubt, and no way is it reversible error.
I believe their is potential that he is innocent & did not murder the victim, but he was definitely involved. Defendant should serve LWOP for this case, but then again even he is already serving a 50 year sentence for an unrelated robbery when he was initially put on trial for this murder.
@@whotfisjason7870 We have to judge cases on the standards of what was conceivable at the time, DNA testing was not a procedure during the original trial of the case (20+ years old). It's one thing if we find new evidence that changes our opinion. This is why the defendant requested to appeal to prove innocence & investigate the new found evidence. That's not what happened here. The defense didn’t find anything useful to prove his innocence.
As you might not know, lack of Williams’ DNA on the murder weapon does not mean he is innocent, as the court obtained the conviction him as the murderer based off of persuasive evidence.
Someone else’s DNA on the murder weapon also doesn’t explain the confession Williams’ made to the two people who testified against him prior to them turning informants, as well as the presence of the victims property found within his car, or the testimony of the individual who purchased the laptop of the victim from the defendant days after the murder. This isn’t evidence of actual innocence, it isn’t reasonable doubt, and it isn’t reversible error.
I believe he is innocent in regards to committing the murder, but with the testimonies & the victims property found in his vehicle, it’s very conclusive to understand that while he may not have murdered the victim he was definitely involved in some way. Guy should serve LWOP, but then again he is already serving a 50+ year sentence for an unrelated robbery that he was convicted of prior to the original trial of this case.
@@whotfisjason7870 the crime scene was contaminated lol. You can't use that as an argument one second and then forget about it the next. It works both ways. You realize this guy was already about to serve a 50 year sentence for an unrelated robbery, right? He had an extensive criminal record and literally had several of the victim's possessions.
He would fit right in with Trump' retinue. Scoot over Mark.
He's certainly a product of em😂😂😂😂
Rare times they actually use the death penalty, they use in a case were it's not a 💯 guilty case... But they don't use it on cases were the convicted is 💯 caught dead to rights... They know good and well they shouldn't have gone through with the execution, and that prosecutor is only worried about his conviction ratings...
He is reliving the glory days of Jim Crow Wake Up Black people Save yourselves and your family vote💙 On November 5th!
there you go with that victim mentality
Sounds like the general was paid off or threatened
To all of the people claiming he's innocent; do some actual research because there was a lot of evidence against him that was barely mentioned in any of these videos, like the fact that he had possessions FROM the victim, and the fact that he was already supposed to be serving 50 years in jail for another robbery. In fact, he had an extensive criminal record which included multiple robberies. Even ignoring the witness testimony and the mishandling of the murder weapon itself, it's not like this conviction came out of nowhere.
I just did a little research here is what I found there was blood hair and finger prints a shoe print none of it matches Mr Williams . He was convicted because of a jail house informant saying he confessed and his ex girlfriend said he picked her up with scratches on his neck and bloody shirt covered by a jacket he had stolen from the home and she said he confessed . Here is my issue if the DNA at the crime scene didn't match nothing matched hence the prosecutor stating I messed up I think he might be innocent . The jailhouse informant and his girlfriend both changed their story and both were facing convictions of their own so the both of them gained benefit in their own cases from lying the girlfriend said he had scratches on his neck Corner stated the victim had no DNA under her nails . The shoe print was smaller than Mr. Williams much smaller.
oh the jacket she said he used to cover his blood soaked clothes the girlfriend claimed he stole it from the victim his family stated he had no clothes missing
The sad part about this she or the other man wont admit what they did until she or him is on their own death bed .I found this information in the new evidence that the prosecutor presented and court filings. He may have a record but this crime he was set up and she knew they would believe her for the same reason you did he had a past .You said he was facing 50 years he wasnt he was in a work house paying for his crimes when this came up . He was locked up when his girl went to the police with the said confession she was locked up and the day she got out she went straight to the police with that said confession . Im thinking because she did not want to go to jail for murder and she was trying to get that reward money because they had just announced it and to hide who really killed those people with her .
He also stated that his girlfriend give him the laptop that he turn around and sold it i believe the girlfriend had some to do with the lady murder.@@victoriahollinger-qj5bw
Maybe the people or person that actually did it give the stuff for he can get in trouble
People pay more attention to your state goverrment and who you elect in office its time to hold them accountbale in general. Dont get side track about who is going to be president and dont have a clue who your elected officals are in the state
He did it.
Just because your racism is making you say that the DNA evidence says you're a liar.
@@Joe2ultramaga Yup all 34 counts.
Someone else did it according to dna evidence
@@keandrabouvay6433 The evidence at the crime scene (hair, bloody shoe print & others found) and the new found DNA on the murder weapon does not match Williams’ this doesn’t point towards an alternative suspect
The court convicted him based off of persuasive evidence, the testimonies made by two people close to Williams’ & victims personal items found in the defendant’s car
While I do think he did not commit the murder based off of evidence found at the crime scene not matching him, he was definitely involved in some way.
@@keandrabouvay6433 then why were her belongings in his car?? why did he confess to another inmate in prison he did it?
Put that usshold in prisan
Sounds like Bailey has an issue with justice. He should not be in office
justice was served
An eye for an eye,God's law.
Proverbs- Better a guilty man go free than an innocent man be convicted.
He's not innocent of his other crimes.
The AG has respect for the court system. End of story.
The court system that so often gets things wrong needs to be handled carefully, not blindly respected.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Property of victim found in his car. Guilty by billion case law evidence. Read from Google. Buy any used car, truck, or home. Properties of previous people left behind very normal. These people read over a billion cases of law evidence. They knew this dude guilty trillion percent.

proud of attorney general
okay everyone just stop, this is a bad dude, look at his record, look at the evidence, he confessed to 3 people, the victims purse, and laptop, and personal items was in his car, he wore the victims jacket to conceal the blood from his girlfriend, look at the evidence, and read the case
there is no evidence.
You ever hear of a plea deal?
It’s called taking a plea deal to not get the death penalty, but still getting it. They know people can’t afford lawyers forcing them into false confessions and taking plea deals to not die in prison, do your research, there is no evidence and her family doesn’t wants him to get the death penalty either.
Ok
@donaldday your UA-cam handle is all I need to know about your mentality. You're saying this man deserves a death penalty but I bet you're the same idiotic person that thanks Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent. Now if this was a black woman that was killed by a white man what would you be saying then?US find some way to victim blame the dead victim.That's why your orange Uncle Daddy is going to lose. I hope they give him plenty of time during his sentencing in November.
YOU KNOW HE DID IT. NBC Coat holders
Prove it.
DNA evidence says otherwise. Know your facts
DNA was found and her belongings in his car.
Bailey has his name out there nationally, y’all got it!!
Proverbs 28:15 like a growling lion and a charging bear is a wicked ruler over helpless people
So the attorney general likes keeping criminals in prison? Sounds good to me
on god
Missouri hasn’t had an Decent Attorney General since Chris Koster.
Andy Bailey for prison 2024🇺🇸
Only Andrew Bailey is 100% guilty of the crime portrayed in this.
The AG should be investigated arrested and charged by the DOJ for murder and misconduct in the system.
They going have to pay what u put out u get back...... Universal law is the only law that is real
Prejudice, prosecutor, and judge💩
Why did he have her laptop and purse? He deserved worse. And it’s coming.
How about describe the entire case here instead of cherrypicking what you want?
You wanted blood and you got blood and you're just too dumb to understand why it's wrong.
Pathetic.
@@rulleh the fact i would have read your comment if it was informative and you chose just to do the bare minimum in spreading knowledge you spread a nothing salad is funny.
@@loirai4349 Sorry Sensai.
I didn't realise the comments were here to teach you something new as opposed to being an outlet for opinions.
I'll be sure to keep that in mind while I'm considering what is agreeable to you in future, you mong.
@@loirai4349 The irony is incredible.
Vote him out
Andrew Bailey is a national hero and a true patriot. Great job AG bailey.
@@hakeemfrancis1099 If he is a "patriot," why did his office go against the constitution and purposely ignore court orders to release other people who were already found to be factually factually innocent of the crimes they were accused of? Sandra Hemme, Kevin Strickland, Christopher Dunn? You have struct rules you have to follow as an attourney general to uphold the constitution, not use it against the people. What would have happened to people like Kirk Bloodsworth if they said "Oh we know there is DNA evidence that proves your innocence, but we are still going to execute you anyway?". You are acting more of a libtard than a conservative right wing like myself who is supposed to be supportive of people who uphold the constitution. We are supposed to be on the same boat.
