Original Note:
Lynching means killing by extrajudicial action: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lynch A black man was not lynched. Marcellus Williams was executed after being convicted of murder. While there were many questions raised over his guilt/innocence, he was executed through standard process, not lynched. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/09/24/missouri-execution-marcellus-williams-lisha-gayle/75298897007/
