What the attorney thinks - Marcellus Williams

What the attorney thinks - Marcellus Williams

As always it's time to get the thoughts of OMR's voice of reason, a man with decades of experience as a defense attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago Illinois, Mr. Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case against Marcellus William's.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Marcellus Williams was handed a death sentence in 2001 for the murder of Felicia Gale, its a crime he not only says he didn't commit but one that a number of independent experts say DNA evidence has proved he's innocent of...


The threat of death is nothing new for the man who has spent over two decades in prison trying to fight his conviction, just a few weeks ago the Missouri Supreme court scheduled Marcellus to be executed on September 24th at 6pm.


it's in fact the third time he's been given a date and only narrowly escaped death by a couple of hours the last time.


I first came across his story when I saw a post that had been made by the innocence project who, a long with a number of other attorneys, has been fighting Marcellus's case for sometime.


After seeing his story I wanted to reach out to see if he and I could speak.

I wasn't keen on my chances as I have attempted to speak with others on death row before but with no joy. There sentence is usually carried out different to general population, they are confined to their cells in a form of solitary confinement with strict access to communication.


None the less I tracked down Marcellus and sent him a message, he replied telling me that he in fact had 24/7 access to a phone within his cell.

Seemingly a privileged offered to those who have been given their date.
