Execution

The move by St. Louis County Circuit Judge Bruce Hilton came after the Missouri Supreme Court temporarily paused the deal at the request of Attorney General Andrew Bailey.

A St. Louis County circuit judge accepted a deal that will keep Marcellus Williams in prison for life without parole. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is appealing.

Marcellus Williams will get a hearing on Aug. 21, at the request of St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell. The prosecutor’s office has filed a motion to vacate the conviction after reviewing the case and discovering “clear and convincing evidence” that Williams is innocent.
