Original Note:
New tests found the DNA on the knife belonged to prosecutors, not Williams. With no alternative suspects, Williams entered a no-contest plea to avoid the death penalty. The plea was blocked by (R) AG Bailey, and the state Supreme Court ordered a hearing. SCOTUS denied a stay. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/9/25/why-was-marcellus-williams-executed-what-to-know-about-the-missouri-case
