- The State of Missouri is scheduled to execute Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams on Sept. 24 for a crime that even prosecutors now say he did not commit. On Sept. 12, a Missouri judge denied a motion filed by prosecutors to vacate Williams' conviction and death penalty. Despite more than half a million petition signatures demanding Williams be freed, Missouri is set to proceed with the execution. Michelle Smith, Co-Director of Missourians to Abolish the Death Penalty, joins Rattling the Bars to explain Williams' case and the fight to free him before it's too late.

If something like that happened in Russia or Iran, I bet America would be outraged. But since it happens in Missouri, it will be swept under the rug.
Well, he's guilty, so there is that. As a black man, I was a little outraged when I heard of this. All I had to do was look up unbiased evidence because everything from the innocence project is only half the story. Yes, the prosecution messed up by touching the knife before DNA tests were being done. That doesn't change the fact that he had her purse, laptop, and blood on his shirt. He confessed to 2 people and gave details never released. Sorry to tell you they fooled you but they got me too.
Kind of skipping over his girlfriend gave the bloody shirt to the cops 😅😅
That the officers gave her and told her to do I'm sure. How did she get the computer to give to Khalifa? THINK.
@@PRMVXVP She didn't have the computer; Glenn Roberts bought it from the perp. READ - THINK - COMPREHEND, instead of operating from feelings, ragazzina!
So innocent he already had a 50 year jail sentence for robbery and he sold her laptop and had her purse in his car. Being black doesn’t mean the race card makes you innocent 😝
🎯
The only damning evidence in this entire case was the testimony of a woman. That’s it. He wasn’t proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
He was already serving a 50 year sentence. He still wouldn't have been a free man!

Whatever we allow done to others can be brought against us
Right. So, don't murder anyone.
He didn't.
We are being forced to practice "...an eye for an eye.... In fact, that practice is long overdue (centuries now).
You won’t make it
Agreed.
An innocent man being executed is cold-blooded murder. Please tell us what supposedly happened, how he got the laptop etc, and help identify the human chain leading to the real killer
Innocent? Innocent? He was found in possession of the victims property,and a judge and jury believes he did it. The same people who want the death penalty abolished are often in favor of letting criminals off with light sentences. Agian, he was found in possession of the victims property! Well in less than thirty minutes it will be between him and God .
Why cant you find his finger print on nothing that was said he stole, no print at the scene, no print or blood on the weapon.
Gloves?
Law enforcement was involved in that murder or someone's family member who is employed by the legal system is involved. THIS 8S CLEARLY A COVER UP.
That’s what it sounds like cause they are blocking a review of any case.
Yes this!!!!!!!I was coming to the comments to say the same thing
HE'S A INNOCENT BLACK MAN, IF HE WAS A DIFFERENT RACE/COLOR THE EXECUTION WOULD NOT HAPPEN
RIGHT‼️, PRAYING 4 HIM & HIS FAMILY
BS. Many white people have been executed. Being black does not make him innocent. Years of review of his case have all come to the same conclusion-guilty.
I suspect if he was different race, it wouldn't have taken 25 years.
This IS Sick !!
Look at the case of Husain Braveheart in 2019 from Minneapolis. He was almost 16 and Native American. His partner in crime was 16 and white. During a carjacking these two shot and killed a fleeing man. White 16 year old got 22 years in jail. Braveheart got off with time served.
Nowadays being white is more likely to work against you than help you.
Also all the evidence and testimony says Williams is in fact guilty.
That’s a fact this country always been prejudice against blacks. You guilty when you walk in a courtroom
I wonder if anybody would even know this case had his victim been a black woman.
Yes if he was on death row. That's what makes this story. Sister or a white girl people would be equally as horrified.
This man should not of been in jail nor on death row. Shameful.
So wheres the proof his innocent. All i see is people saying hes innocent with zero evidence. Are we to go off someones opinion?
did you not listen ? the only thing linking him was the laptop.
@@Rob-qr2kn No, there were a ruler and calculator from her place of employment in addition to testimonies and other circumstantial evidence; READ THE COURT DOCUMENTS and stop listening to MSM and silly activists, lest you appear to be misinformed.
So what's the evidence that he was guilty?
This is so sick! I’m heartbroken for him.
An innocent black man! Let us never forget that fact the injustice truly sickens me! Thoughts and prayers, go out to you brother! 🙏♥️ 💕
Please leave race out of this. Do you believe he cared about your victim race. Someone is murdered and you end up with their belongings.
@@lsad2616 They didn’t prove that he did it!
except that he was 100% guilty
@@taritabonita22 It appears they did prove the case. I was personally curious and went into the court records and read quite a bit about the August 28th Evidentially hearing. This is the hearing where the defense team mounted a vigorous defense to prove his innocence and have the execution order reversed. UNFORTUNATELY, there was no EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE presented. Instead, It appears some of the Hardest insurmountable pieces of evidence against his innocence were actually the reported confession of this crime he made to his cell mate while in prison for another crime. This is an account which included DETAILS of the Murder of the victim undisclosed to the Public. There were Details in the testimony premised on his reported confession which only someone with first hand knowledge of the Murder will know.
In Addition, the Girlfriend's testimony about seeing him with the Jacket of the victi (with which he allegedly covered his bloody clothes following the murder)
Apparently Girlfriend also claimed she witnessed him dispose of the bloody clothes!! Worse of all, And the victim's personal items, stolen during the burglary and implicated BRUTAL murder were reportedly discovered in his own car --which the girlfriend led police to where the car and belongings were. Then, there was the damning testimony of the Individual to whom he sold the victim's laptop-- 2 days after the murder. It was just a chain of HARD evidence against him that made it difficult for his lawyers to prevail on appeal. It appears the Defense attorneys did their very Best during the initial trial( and afterwards ) to debunk the testimonies of Williams' cell mate and those of his girlfriend.
Conversely, THE JURY and State Supreme Court ultimately found those testimonies and their connection to the brutal murder of the Victim CREDIBLE!! Hence the enforcement of the penalty imposed. It was unfortunate for him to end up his life that Way.😮
Race doesn't play a part in this case. He wq6s married to a white woman wasn't he?
Everyone on Death Row is innocent; all you gotta do is ask them and they’ll tell you.
Why don't they rehear the case in another county
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way! Case has to be tried in the State the crime was committed. 🙏♥️
Ummm... because other countries do not have any rule over US law.
@@via2552county not country
Just ran across this channel ...Sad all the way around.Thank you.
This my thing... Maybe he wasn't the only suspect but he knows what happened. St. Louis isn't small ... U city is like a suburb... That laptop says a lot.
He dead
Unique host, man samoosa!
GOD IS WATCHING!!!!!
How is he Innocent.. With All That Evidence.
Khalifa ? If he is moslem and praying for allah to help him, he is lost, I pray in THE HOLY NAME of ADDONAI YAHAWAHSHI THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of ELOHEIM YAHAWAH EL ELYON, that laid down HIS SINLESS LIFE as THE RANSOM for the redemption of man. That this not guilty man would be set free
Innocent my a$$.
Sounds like he was set up. And at that he already served what? 20 years, he should of been a free man, respectfully
the laptop which he said he got which was from a ex which was the same ex who said he did it (only when money was brought up) sounds like she knows more than him to me. Sounds like the ex and the next witness were in it together, how could the detectives miss dat?
The state proved their case and he was found guilty. If anyone wanted to overturn the findings of the court they would need to prove the court wrong with credible evidence. How many appeals did he have? How many did he lose? Where were his rights violated? What makes him innocent? What court agreed with that finding? In this country these cases are solved in courts not on social media. All of these claims they make.... were they made in court? Did the court find them credible? If it were so clear he was innocent.... he would be free. Keep pretending it is 100 years ago.... it's helping so many.
no sir-,the pressure to convict forms an alliance with social prejudice, distorting the result-
Bro, this is wild. It takes one search to find out he 100% did it. I fell for it at first, too, because it said DNA excluded him. It didn't exclude him, but they couldn't use the evidence because the prosecution touched it without gloves. They didn't know DNA testing would be a thing. He was found to have the ladies' purse, laptop, and bloody clothes, and he confessed to 2 people. Not only did he confess, but he also knew details they never released to the public.
That's the whole truth 💯
Im asking myself how a murdered woman property ended up in an innocent man hands.
The murderer sells the stolen property. Duh
It flew into his posession via a helicopter. Or maybe it was mailed to him by fedex, or maybe all her things grew legs, walked around tonw and found him by coincidence.
I mean he keeps saying how innnoccccent he is.
She said the laptop was given to him by his girlfriend, who happens to be one of the witnesses. I think that leaves more questions than answers.
That’s exactly what I’m asking myself 😒
@@christac1526Right Right Right... Ain't no one, speaking on that..
No matter the color when it happens your father or brother you will feel the same way.
Keep that same energy he's not innocent when it happened to you.
1:02 😂 Bro, that isn't evidence. Maybe some procedural issues, but he did this shit. Just because he black like me dont mean nothing.
Shame on the killer judge
6:01 He bought stolen or pawned property and all of a sudden he's drawn into a murder WTH 🤦🏾♀️
7:40 that money they got from the husband is spent and only truth can get them a peace in their final hours. So sad. 😮😢
Justice for brother Williams..It is a complete slap in the face , this in essence of all accuality could be anyone of us. May the Most High Yahuah , the Supreme allah render righteous judgement. Se Safe out here
As every 1L is taught in Crim Law Class,our Jurisprudence is based on the premise that its better that many guilty people go unpunished than one innocent person suffer..In my opinion,no person should be executed on the basis of the evidence presented against Khaliifah .The Death Sentence should be vacated.Inmho ,the conviction should be vacated and a new trial granted.
He wasn't
He harmed that lady. End of story 🤷🏽♀️ You are not sharing EVERYTHING that was found. And you know nothing about the assays and DNA test run.
Say it louder, for the PEOPLE IN THE BACK
.
Sending my prayers to his family.
DNA doesn't matter anymore.
A lot of people came out and told the court they lied.
At the time of the murder touch DNA evidence wasn't a thing and it wouldn't make a difference because Williams wore gloves.
I really wanted to watch but I can't understand what you're saying.
Everybody is innocent in death row.
Where is the so called democracy they preach to other countries
Is the judge Republican? I know the governor is. They care nothing for our freedom or Democracy! Vote 💙🇺🇸
@@taritabonita22 Do you need to go look up the name of the white man being executed in Texas on the same day as this man?
I bet you don't know his name. I bet you haven't posted anything to have his execution stayed.
To many open questions remain on this case, it’s one thing to hold someone to account it’s another for the state to apply a time table to someones life.if we insist on applying God's judgment we should at least try to apply his wisdom.
Even if I believed in Capital Punishment in theory, there are many problems with it in practice.
Issues include:
Long, costly appeals processes which can cost even more than lifelong incarceration;
Racial biases;
Gender biases;
Wealth disparities.
In my conscience, the most disturbing problem with Capital Punishment is the risk of mistakenly executing the wrong person -- killing an innocent suspect while allowing the true perpetrator to escape justice. If an innocent person is wrongly incarcerated, then a time period of liberty is lost, and the longer the time period, the more tragic the miscarriage. Still, if a review of the evidence / new evidence exonerates an inmate, then release can take place. No such restoration can be given to a deceased person, and that's an even bigger tragedy.
This system is rotten to the core
You only typed SIX words and STILL managed to misspell one of em 😂😂😂OMG thank you! I needed that!😂😂😂
@seanhuston2593 i gotta watch out for those with special needs. You're welcome, sweetie
@@mahlataban686 🤡 You still forgot proper punctuation. 😂🙃🤣
@@mahlataban686 It's not the system,it's the criminals who violate the system.
@@seanhuston2593 Seven WORDS..... OMG, I Needed that!!!!! Thank You!!!
The girlfriend did NOT come forward, she never said squat about any money.
Spreading countless lies is shameful
Would this justice be extended to BIBI NETANYaHU and JOY BIDDIN for the genocide they are committing to the GAZA people and Hezbollah.
I’m not losing any sleep over Mr. Williams. The man is 100% guilty. The man was a career thief, and didn’t mind brutally assaulting, and eventually murdering somebody.
How did the girlfriend get the victim's laptop, in order to give it to the suspect? Where did she get it from? If she gave it to him, it's no longer culpable evidence.
If someone is innocent why you will accept life in peison without ecen parole and. Bot rotal freedom
That’s what I was wondering
Quit lying to your audience he's guilty there's no evidence saying he's innocent but a ton that says he's guilty and sentence
I think the prosecutor is wrong to handle the evidence with his hand he should be charge
They have no repercussions behind their evil ways the operate free of immunity...The people of that state should vote someone new in office.
Prosecutor's today are crucked
The race card didn't work.
Please, whoever watches, in the very least sign the petition to get this man free🙏🏿
Not a chance
Rip
So you have someone on your vid here that advocates for the abolishment of the death penalty...She going to advocate for this cat whether he guilty or NOT. So are you trying to get him off death row cause he's innocent or are you trying to abolish the death penalty?? Which is it??
this video is obviously about an innocent man getting the death penalty.
Yes, really that needs to be another episode. However, right now at this minute this man’s clock is ticking. It really needed to be only him imo. They could’ve done another episode after this was taken care of and his life was at least saved. He’s got from my understanding 2 days now.
@@diana-ue3hzHe's not innocent
Both.
@@Jamyes9909 elaborate?
Where are the people that said he confessed? They are the ones that should be found and questioned again!
He should have been an illegal immigrants and he would never been arrested 😢
They are both deceased from what I read
اللهم رحم عبدك وأدخله فسيح جناتك الحمد لله فقد مات مسلما
Informative
Stop the execution!!!!
Oops to late, justice served
This is so barbaric... =(
No one should be executed when there is a shadow of a doubt. Period. This is just like that poor man in Georgia a few years ago. He was literally put to death because another man (who was a better suspect) said he did it. There was no good evidence. Just shameful! That poor man 😢
He confessed to his girlfriend at the time that he killed her and threatened to kill her too if she told anyone, The victims belongings were found in the trunk of the car he was driving, he was a 15 time convicted felon and bragged about the murder to other inmates.
Nah shes not sharing all of the details about his situation lol. That dude is guilty imo.
He had her purse in his car and he sold her laptop, but don’t let evidence get in the way of a good story.
He received the laptop from his Girlfriend...facts
Why don't we match the DNA with the girl Who gave him the laptop or with his inmate?
This is America
what happened to people saying stuff being here say? why are they taking these peoples words for it? thye said he admitted it to inmates. thats here say isnt it???
He is (was) not innocent.
The girlfriend who had the laptop is the key that put him where he is. To offer money is going to bring people out. 💯 😫
Congratulations 🎉🎉 on the 1million milestone yay Y’all did it ❤❤
This man was anything but innocent....
Yer getting close to a MILLION subscribers…!😮
Allah akbar
Wow, what an incredible video. So informative, I learned so much. Insightful juicy questions by host and extremely articulate answers from guest. I wish I had seen it sooner...
Wish the host would stop talking over her. Her mic cuts each time he speaks and the subtitles can't pick it up. Now I have no clue how Khaliifah got the victim's laptop, along with other details, thanks to that -_-
WE
Look, everyone . America at it again
Free Khalifa!
Oh, they're gonna "free" him alright.
How did he get the laptop and who gave it to him caae closed
Dieu est grand
His ass wasn't innocent

HAS ANYONE ELSE SIGNED THE PETITION????
I'M FROM MISSOURI AND HAVE. I ALSO INTEND ON VOTING AND GETTING PEOPLE HERE TO VOTE OUT ANDREW BAILEY!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I did
@nevamo7820; Yes I did and also donated to further the petition, under my given name not my screen name! Learned about this case on "We The People University"- TH-cam Channel, that's where I signed and donated!
"KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"
I didn't see the petition, just a number to call ad a script to read ?
Why???
Not innocent by any means
He's lost all his appeals and clemency is denied
I loved what everyone are doing to help him. I know that the innocence project is involved. That is a great organization. I pray that he is not executed. There are others that have probably been found guilty but are innocent. I think that the death penalty should be abolished.
😢😢😢
My humble opinion he doesn't seem the guilty if he's still alive please please please investigate this case love ❤️
Thank you for this conversation. Free Kalif!!!
TH-cam we the people university with Abia Israel.
What was his criminal history …?
14 felonies not including this murder. A few were armed robberies/home invasions if I'm not mistaken. Really gets the noggin joggin...
@@jordanthompson8268 Yeah , that record gonna be hard not to convict, I know the family of the victim believed he committed the the murder but didn’t believe in the death penalty, having the victims laptop in possession if did it or not I believe he might of known who did and never said anything either way God is the Ultimate Judge….!
Why should he get life in prison if he's innocent or to execute him for a crime he did not commit? Perhaps the prosecutor did it since his fingerprints are all over the weapon.
He was already in prison for robbery for 50 years
God has the last word...
😢 mannnn
They should call a spade a spade not a big spoon
His last words were “all praise be to Allah/God in all situations”
They executed him. They went and did it anyway. Knowing he was innocent. Knowing it.
This is so terrible.. lord, father god, I come to you and asked for the truth to be exposed and release this innocent man. Protect him father. Amen..
Won't be long now.
Rest in peace may Allah grant to highest janah aamiina yaa rabi
