Michelle Smith with Missourians To Abolish The Death Penalty Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams is scheduled for execution on September 24, despite DNA evidence proving his innocence. The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney has filed a motion to vacate his conviction, citing the exculpatory DNA evidence. A hearing is set for August 21 to review this evidence. The case against Williams was based on unreliable witness testimony, and forensic evidence from the crime scene does not match him. Despite these findings, the Missouri Attorney General is pushing for his execution. This case highlights issues of wrongful convictions and racial bias in the justice system. https://innocenceproject.org/ag-asks-missouri-supreme-court-to-block-hearing-on-dna-evidence-marcellus-williams-innocence/ https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/missouri/article289696334.html Host: Adam Sommer Find Adam on tik-tok (maybe) and bluesky as "midmapdadenergy" - follow The Process on instagram.

From St Louis Daily Newsletter: https://info.stlmag.com/daily-newsletter-080924 MO conservatives may be hoisted on their own petard How much do some Missouri conservatives hate ranked-choice voting? They placed a constitutional amendment on this fall’s ballot to preemptively block municipalities from giving such novel systems a try. (St. Louis City, which switched to approval voting in 2020, would be grandfathered in.) But Dave Roland, director of litigation at the Freedom Center of Missouri, couldn’t help but notice something in Tuesday’s election results: Conservative Republicans would almost certainly have fared much better under a ranked-choice system. After all, the more centrist Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe likely won the gubernatorial primary because the flame-throwing conservatives Jay Ashcroft and Bill Eigel cut into each other’s support. (Kehoe won 40 percent to their combined 56 percent.) “It seems clear from yesterday's result that a significant majority of Republican voters wanted a conservative candidate to be the party's nominee,” Roland says. “They just couldn't agree on which one!” As practiced by Utah Republicans (among others), ranked choice would have allowed right-leaning voters to rank their favorite candidate first and the next second. When the third-place candidate was eliminated (in this case, likely Ashcroft), his votes could have instead gone to Eigel, putting him over the edge. Why It Matters: As Roland observes, lots of data suggests that Missouri voters like pugnacious pols in the mold of Donald Trump. But after six years of the folksy Mike Parson as governor—who was appointed to the job after Eric Greitens flamed out in a pyre of scandal—they’re looking at either Kehoe or Democrat Crystal Quade, both of whom would have likely struggled to make the runoff under a ranked-choice or approval-based system. What’s Next: This November, voters will consider the Republican-supported ban on alternative voting systems. Democrats may hope that no one shows them this news item.—S.F.
