Governor Parson Gives Execution Go Ahead Despite Activist Outcry

Today, most activists disguised as journalists spent their time "reporting" on a sketchy legal power move that counts on the public's poor memory and a one-sided retelling of old crimes. 

More importantly . . .

Both the Guv & The Court seem unconvinced . . . Check-it: 

The court overruled the motion to stay the execution as moot, concluding that the prosecutor failed to prove any claims that could undermine the original judgment.

“Capital punishment cases are some of the hardest issues we have to address in the Governor’s Office, but when it comes down to it, I follow the law and trust the integrity of our judicial system,” Parson said. “Mr. Williams has exhausted due process and every judicial avenue, including more than 15 hearings attempting to argue his innocence and overturn his conviction. No jury or court, including at the trial, appellate, and Supreme Court levels, has ever found merit in Mr. Williams’ innocence claims. At the end of the day, his guilty verdict and sentence of capital punishment have been upheld. Nothing from the real facts of this case has led me to believe in Mr. Williams’ innocence; therefore, Mr. Williams’ punishment will be carried out as ordered by the Supreme Court.”
