Maryam Amir – Marcellas Williams

From a spiritual perspective, would you question if

you were wrongfully convicted and put on death

row for 20 years?

What would your last words be?

Marcellus Williams, our brother, may Allah have mercy

on him, was just murdered today.

He was convicted wrongfully 20 years ago, even

though forensic evidence did not match him and

there were no leads in his case until

months after the murder of the victim took

place.

The husband put a $10,000 reward out

and there was an informant who came to

claim that reward.

The victim's family themselves did not want him

to be executed.

There was racial bias from the jury and

yet despite all of this, his last words

that he wrote, his final testament that he

wrote, was all praise to Allah in every

situation.
