#Missouri #DeathPenalty #Execution
Innalillahi wa innah ilayhi rajion😢may allah grant him jannah.
Smh so sad
May he rest in paradise and be in the company of those blessed by Allah: from the prophets, the people of truth, the martyrs, and the righteous—what honourable company! I hope we meet in paradise my brother. Love!
Years from now they’ll print a BS apology saying he was innocent.
“we sincerely apologize blah blah blah…” It’s always the same robotic “apology.”
May Allah have mercy upon nation of Muhammad saw
Awal kehancuran Amerika, orang gak bersalah di dakwa
America’s justice system is a joke
Why do we even call it the “justice” system when it’s completely the opposite?
That’s not fair and justice I’m so frustrated
Judgement is coming for those who lie and are CORRUPTED!
hypocrite democracy
Mike Parsons in a nutshell.
He was guilty. Blaqfoke are so corny sticking up for a murderer.
There was dna evidence that he’s innocent
The DNA evidence didn’t line up but then again you think the DNA of any black man makes them a criminal don’t you?
@@pixelandersource?
@@Jay-qu2bc you can Google it , plenty of news article that proved that dna evidence showed he was innocent. I can’t post links here because YouTube will delete my comment
Lol he was 100% guilty or intimately knew the actual murderer.
There’s literal DNA evidence prooving his innocence
@@hamarabhai78 yeah like having the MURDERED WOMANS LABTOP. Lol
@@hamarabhai78He sold the murder victims laptop to a man. They found the victims belongings in his car. He had 14 felonies for things like robbery and etc.
@@mrroddy330 ding ding ding
What if it was one of us, the system is scary
😢
Murderous governor
Be sure to call AG Andrew Bailey and Gov Mike Parson by their new title: Missouri murd3$3r Andrew Bailey and State murd3$3r Mike Parson. They do not deserve their title of Attorney General or Governor anymore.
From what I’ve watched and the news I’ve gathered from the sources, they removed all the black judges 12 of them, they had many petitions even by his family victims, they killed him without DNA, the real truth is that they killed him because he is BLACK, if a white man killed a black woman do u think that he will get murder as a punishment by the state? Do u think if a white man killed a black woman they will have all the jury to be black? They killed him cuz he’s BLACK and on top of that he’s a Muslim, and still people want to live in a KAFIR country like the US🤷🏽♂️ it’s mind boggling to me, May Allah forgive Marcellus Williams, May Allah grant patience to his family.
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un
May Allah forgive him and have mercy on him.
Americans used to criticise us Asians for death penalty of convicted murderers and drug traffickers BUT here they are, executing an unconvicted, innocent man. Just proves american are hypocrites who love virtue signaling
*THIS IS, Imam Williams has SINCERELY undergone UNFAIR PUNISHMENT BECAUSE HE WAS NOT PROVEN GUILTY. THE GUILTY ARE THE JUDGES WHO MADE THE VERDICTS AND THE LOCAL GOVERNOR WHO WAS INVOLVED INDICTIVELY FOR THAT UNFAIR VERDICT. At the moment of the execution, what this meant was that all of Imam Williams’ sins were IMMEDIATELY MOVED DOWNLOADED TO ALL THE JUDGES AND TO THE LOCAL GOVERNOR. Innaalillaahi wa Innaailaihi Rooji’uun. May Imam Williams Husnul khotimah. Therefore, in Islamic teachings, that is why on the Day of Judgment there will be a FINAL COURT, namely the Last Judgment faced by all humans and that is the MOST FAIR COURT.*
*TO TAKE THIS ANALOGY, ALL LEADERS WHO RUDE THE LIVES OF THEIR PEOPLE BY CAUSING UNJUSTICE, CAUSING ECONOMIC TROUBLE FOR ALL OF THEIR PEOPLE, CAUSING PROLONGED DISCRETION FROM THEIR PEOPLE AND OTHERWISE, UNSAFETY AND DISCOMFORT OF THE PEOPLE, THEN ALL SIN- THE WORLD’S SIN FROM ALL ITS PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY DOWNLOADED TO ALL LEVELS OF POWER AT THAT TIME A PERCENTAGE OF THE WEIGHT OF INVOLVEMENT IN ACTS OF OWNERSHIP FOR ALL PEOPLE IN THAT POWER.*
My tax money killed an innocent man.
Your tax money kills thousands of people all over the world every single day…😉
Your government calls it “tax” money but in reality it’s extortion money because taxation is 100% theft.
So they killed him and the kid who killed 17 ppl in school is still alive
😢
To Allah we belong, and to him we shall return. The US “Justice” system is an absolute joke. Amerikkka
Justice of wh1te p1gz
He was innocent God will deal with whoever is behind this 💔
May Allah the most high have mercy upon his soul and forgive his shortcomings of this world and accept him in Jannatul Firdaus (highest place in paradise)
“They are certainly devising plans,
but I too am planning. So bear with the disbelievers ˺. Let them be for ˹just˺ a little while.” Quran
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun. May Allah grant you jannah brother.
Good thing the family got the closure they deserved when this monster was put down.
14 prior felonies. Confessed to his gf at the time. Sold the laptop and the that person confessed but
*DERRR HE INNOCENT*
America why is your justed system so corrupt and f**ked up😔
😂😂😂😂 Do Amoorikans still believe that their country is not authoritarian?
As usual the most upvoted comments are complete misinformation 🤣
America doesnt care about Black people! America doesnt care about Russians! America doesnt care about Palistinians! America is no longer Christian country! America is full of haters and destroyers! Once America is dead then where do you live?
May Allah have Mercy on him. InshaAllah this brother was killed as a Martyr and he will forever dwell in Jannatul Firdaus (Paradise) . (and Allahﷻ knows best) “The world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the unbeliever.”-Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) Reference: Sahih Muslim 2956
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّةُ الْكَافِرِ
2956 صحيح مسلم كتاب الزهد والرقائق
😢😢😢😢😢
Susan smith
The white jury were like … ahhh who cares , one less black man in the world
Tout cela est une affaire maçonnique est satanique
Blacks being 13% of the country and yet these 5 killed 4 of them where black. How is that justice? It is a rotten system and 500 years of slavery, lynching and executtion. Blacks must unite and reshape this rotten system against them?!
He was guilty AF. There was plenty of evidence.
The DNA evidence didn’t line up and both the victims family and the prosecutors were against it
@@InkyHelmThe dna “evidence” can’t exonerate him because it isn’t why he was convicted in the first place.
Furthermore, the family and original prosecutor thinks he’s guilty
Zionist was behind it, because he become muslims in the prison.
Election Day in Missouri is gonna be interesting to say the least.
This is messed up
Jannah InsyaAllah
May Allah forgive you and be mercy with you we will meet there inshallah
I Just Know It
Lisha and Marcellus met each other and they reconciled
Meanwhile a school shooter who killed 30 is still alive the system is so biased
I’m just saying I don’t think he killed that news reporter blessings to her family but when I say somethings wrong, somethings wrong. The DA said they didn’t have no evidence tying him to the case high profile case somebody got to go down and that’s just how it works in jail, a guilty.

I like what I read on the World Socialist Website just now :
[ “The continued existence of the death penalty in the United States is yet another confirmation of the criminality and violence of the capitalist political and economic system, which oozes filth out of every pore. ” ]
THEY TREAT THE MUSLIMS UNFAIR AND THATS IN ALL OF THE SYSTEMS
He is a North America Aboriginal
.
This is horrendous, what a evil world we live in. This could happen to any of us, specially those who are poor and don’t have power against the system. That’s why i’ll never support death penalty, never!
Ppl need to stop saying that. It wasn’t “the prosecutor”. It was ONE person who worked in the prosecutors office during the trial. The prosecutors office was clear that they believe he’s guilty. I’m so tired of these stores where half the internet, congresspeople, and activists claim someone is “innocent” but then when you actually look into the evidence it’s not at all what you expected and it’s becomes clear that they’re guilty. Not saying that the execution is right–its not, if there’s Any doubt then execution should not happen. But for ppl to act like this is an innocent man being executed is ridiculous. No wonder there’s so much political divide in this country. So much BS misinformation from the media and politicians.
This is so darn puzzling. There was no evidence found at the crime scene. But I don’t have the full story. but he’s gone and if they find out later, he was innocent there’s nothing that will bring him back
As a Man, You are alone, no one is coming to save you.
Wasn’t the victim a journalist? Also he got the victim’s possessions through his ex girlfriend who later testified against him and ended up dead the following years. Also the murder weapon did not have his DNA, instead it had police investigators’ DNA due to “mishandling”. Also another witness who testified against him suddenly went missing as well. Even the family of the victim asked to stop his execution and they still executed him anyway. Seems like someone really doesn’t want the truth to come out.
May Allah swt grant him Paradise
Reminds me of the time Kamala laughed as her office sentenced a now confirmed innocent black man of murder
😮😢😢 God won’t forget
Jones Eric Moore Matthew Jones Brenda
He got into islam in the prison and named khalifah
You really should think about islam
I don’t know what is wrong with the system!!! we are in the world where who committed crime is eligible for parole and innocent people executes for crime they even didn’t commit so sad 😢
“Williams had started serving a 20-year sentence for robbing a doughnut shop. Laura Asaro, the girlfriend of Williams at the time of the crime, gave testimony that Williams had confessed to her and detailed what had happened. Asaro testified that she found a purse with Gayle’s identification in Williams’ car. She also testified that she saw scratches on Gayle’s neck, blood on his shirt, and a laptop in his car.”
if prosecution says he wasn’t guilty, why did he prosecute?
USA real face about laws
Need to charge the governer
Right or wrong , it is over 😮
This systemic murder should be investigated. They should pay for what they hav done to get this innocent man killed.
Darkness
He was murdered plain and simple. Disgusting!!
The land of the brave and free. What a joke.
America, land of the freedom… and they say muslims are backwards people…
Great Americ 😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
He was prosecuted he had a trial at the there’s any evidence that was that outstanding they would have done or said something different and let him off I’m sick and tired of these people who are bleeding hearts letting people off and these people taking up time and money for 40 years waste of taxpayer money and it’s a waste of time
Too much evidence that he’s guilty.
The government ain’t shyt fuhk em
you can see the sincerity of his words and feel the true devotion to his creator. May Allah rest you in peace
Isaiah 42 vs 22… Rip beloveth 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
😮The victim’s personal belongings was found in HIS vehicle😮
THIS IS WHY THE STATE DECIDING WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES IS NOT A GOOD THING
Allahou akbar
He’s not guilty imam William will never do that
he got to live for decades more while the innocent victim did not. you murderer apologists are all horrible
Hey tell Trayvon Martin and George Floyd i said whats up
Vous êtes des lâche
Which human rights are you talking about America? Please tell me.
This is so wrong and if he got any family i pray hope his family get justice for this young man and the actual perpetrator stream power and when the prosecutor in the case say he not the one someone needs two investigating this bull cause this is all wrong and evil i hope those people get what comes to them say way
Black man never had a chance a white woman was killed
UH ALHHLA
They did that man dirty the law is crooked and corrupt
Guys go and see the case he actually did it and he had no remorse too. He’s definitely not innocent.
This is sad and terrible…
This is so sad in sickening..
They owe his family millions of dollars. This is absolutely foul.
إن لله وإن إليه راجعون البقاء لله
May Allah give him jannah
RahimahuLah 😭
THE US WAS NEVER A DEMOCRACY. A KKK-LED NATION. FOR ITS EXISTENCE, THE WHOLE WORLD IS PAYING THE PRICE RIGHT NOW TOO.
MAY YOU R.I.P. MR WILLIAMS, THE WORLD FAILED YOU, AND ALL DARK SKINNED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
