  • In the past 24 hours, media coverage has focused on Marcellus Williams, who was convicted of fatally stabbing former newspaper reporter Felicia Gayle in 1998. Williams was executed by lethal injection in Missouri but both prosecutors and Gayle's family have questioned his conviction. Dan Abrams agrees that if there was any doubt, the execution should have been delayed. However, he says the media often overlooks the evidence that led to the conviction. Geraldo Rivera and former prosecutor Randy Zelin, who still believes the conviction was justified, join NewsNation's "Dan Abrams Live" to discuss.

      DNA technology and testing before trial did not examine “touch DNA," based on standard techniques and practices at the time. Additionally, subsequent DNA testing has never exonerated Williams.
      Williams has a robust criminal history, including 15 felony convictions in addition to offenses related to Ms. Gayle's murder: robbery (2), armed criminal action (2), assault (2), burglary (4), stealing (3), stealing a motor vehicle, and unlawful use of a weapon, which is all consistent with entering the home, attacking Ms. Gayle, and taking her items.
      Williams confessed the murder to his girlfriend soon after committing his horrific crime once his girlfriend found Ms. Gayle’s purse in Williams’ car, but he also threatened to kill her and her family if she told anyone, readily explaining why his girlfriend did not approach law enforcement until Williams was in custody.
      The girlfriend never requested the reward for information about Ms. Gayle’s murder, despite claims that she was only interested in money.
      When speaking with law enforcement, the jailhouse informant provided information about the crime that was not publicly available, yet consistent with crime scene evidence and Williams’ involvement.
      Other individuals were present when Williams bragged about this murder, and they were disclosed to Williams’ team before trial and have been discussed in subsequent proceedings.
      Gayle’s personal items were found in the trunk of Williams’ car.
      Williams sold Ms. Gayle’s husband’s laptop to another individual who later identified Williams as the seller.
      Williams’ disrespect for others’ well-being and aversion to order have continued in prison, including attacking other inmates and threatening correctional officers.

      Because there may have been several people over at the victim Alicia’s house to leave hair and even the police officers fingerprint was on the knife. But by the time he was sentenced Marcellus was already doing a 20 year sentance for doing an armed robbery of innocent people in a donut shop. He was a professional armed robber with a very long criminal record. Ofc he knew to wear gloves when he merr derr ed Alicia. When he broke into her house she was showering. He could have simply stolen her stuff and moved on but he went in shower and ended her. The media keeps saying it was his ex gf whom”said” Marcellus’ stuff was in his car. That’s not the whole story. The police did “retrieve” Alicia’s stolen belongings from th backseat of his car AND her purse from his trunk. Also erroneous for them to say his gf should have been a suspect. Alicia was staa bbed like 39 times, once right in the head. Believe me that WAS NOT done by a woman. I feel the dame as Zelin here. It hurts the heart, but after 11 court hearing and Supreme Court hearing there was no evidence of his innocence. I disagree with using capital punishment at all on anyone, but right now we need to think about the victim Alicia. Imagine how scary it must have been to ger merr derr ed in her own home while showering. Defenceless. Her husband and fam will never see her again. ALL merr derr ers of women say they are innocent. They have brain issues that say they’re innocent. ALL OF THEM. One court of judge could make mistakes but not whole jury and 12 courts over 25 years. They’re NOT ALL id jits. Time to move on. Shame on media channels that don’t tell the truth about this case and gloss over facts to get ppl excited clicking viewing and crying. Shame. There’s an NPR written article posted now tho that tells the deets. And the Wikipedia page for the victim Alicia has some of the deets. The court docs are probably available online too. If someone thinks every court, Justice, prosecutors , over 25 years was corrupt they should dig in and read all the material instead of just getting emotional and angry and jumping to conclusions.

      There was no DNA because his MO was to wear gloves, and to pull touch DNA off an item 20 years later off an item that has been handled by 50 different people from a time when touch DNA wasn't a thing is asinine. Lack off DNA doesn't prove anything in a case that didn't require DNA to be built.

      His criminal history should have established an MO. He’s a thief but is more than that? Did those robberies involve him brutally do what was done to Mrs. Gayle? Did he meet the composite of the perpetrator the medical examiner should have testified to in court? These are all trial questions not questions brought before an appeals court. This is why you don’t go thru with an execution unless all questions have been adequately answered. It’s for him and it’s for the family, prosecutor, and jury to know that a fair trial was given.

If we're going to complain and demand the standard be changed from a reasonable doubt to a shadow of a doubt, then we have to apply that to every case. So many cases, probably the majority of cases, would not hold up to a shadow of a doubt standard. You can pretty much always find an explanation that would cast a show of a doubt.

    Ppl need to understand the sequence of events. The female lawyer at the beginning misrepresented the facts.
    The jailhouse informant was the only witness who learned about the reward and came forward for the reward. That fact does not make his information invalid. If it did, then no information given after a reward is offered would ever be considered in any investigation. It's a silly argument. But let's continue.
    After the fellow inmate got out of jail, he went to the police to give his information and seek the reward money. Upon hearing his story, Marcellus became a suspect and the police went to Marcellus's girlfriend to question her about it.
    *SHE DID NOT GO TO THE POLICE FOR REWARD MONEY* . They came to her based on the tip they got from the jailhouse informant. When they questioned her, she explained the day Marcellus picked her up with bloody clothes on under a jacket on a hot day. She explained that she saw a purse in his car and thought he was cheating. Then she alleged that he explained what happened and who the purse belonged to before threatening her to keep quiet.
    The laptop was sold 2 days after the murder. The jailhouse informant did not get out and go to thy police until a year later. 2 days after the murder there was no reward money and the GF didn't know the future so she had no reason to sit on her information for a year other than her being afraid of Williams.
    To discredit the GF you would have to believe that she participated in a robbery murder in 1998, gave the laptop to Marcellus 2 days later to sell at a pawn shop, and planted 2 items from the victim's purse in his car trunk instead of just planting the whole purse. Then, she did nothing for a year until police came to her with questions about Marcellus.
    How does that make sense? What was her angle? Set him up and don't tell anyone unless they come asking? Did she know that almost a year later there would be a reward offered for information if she just sat on the info long enough?
    The only person who said the GF gave him the laptop was Marcellus. What is he expected to say? He offered no explanation for the other items found in his trunk.
    He did not offer any plausible explanation for his connections to the murder. All his team did was try to cast doubt on the witnesses. They didn't even have a coherent story to explain all these things. That's why his conviction happened and was upheld.
    If someone set him up, they did a great job. They left behind no evidence of a set up. No witnesses to any plot, no messages or recorded conversations. No ties between witnesses were ever discovered. No ties to any law enforcement or the victims husband were ever discovered. You can speculate wild theories that would make him innocent. The problem is that none of those theories have evidence to back them up.
    My brother in Islam was found guilty. It was a reasonable conviction and upholding it was reasonable in my opinion. I didn't want that for him, and I hope we get a law that says a convict can't be executed if the victims family doesn't want it. But we have no such law and it just is what it is.

    I keep hearing from all these shows that EVEN the murdered womans family didn't want him executed, what they fail to say is some of the family felt that way and more importantly all of the family thought he was guilty of murdering an innocent woman taking a shower in her own home, a huge difference. The DNA evidence was from the detective and prosecuter touching the knife at a much later time. At the time touch DNA retreval did not exist but not because of some nefarious wrong doing. There was plenty of evidence showing his guilt its just that those opposing the death penality don't want to admit to it because of ideological reasons not the facts that a man who had previously commited 14 crimes some of them violent robberies had brutally murdered a woman while committing a robbery.

      testimony against Williams from 22 witnesses. one witness testified Williams confessed while incarcerated. Henry Cole also gave details of the crime that only the perpetrator would have known. the victims purse was found in Williams car by his then girlfriend Lara Asaro. she testified she confronted Williams thinking he was cheating on her, only for him to confess about the murder as his alibi for not cheating. Williams also had possession of the victims husbands laptop which was sold to another corroborating witness and had no alibi to his where abouts during the crime. as well as wearing a bloody jacket according to Asorio after the murder. Williams had a criminal history which included 15 felonies and multiple robberies. the "mistake" made was investigators from the original prosecuting team who handled the murder weapon without gloves. thereby depositing their DNA on the weapon. since the weapon itself was not intrinsic to the conviction the case was not overturned. now, where is this lynching you're talking about?

    *everyone with a brain* HES INNOCENT! There’s no evidence he was at the scene!
    *people who forget that they can breathe out of their nose* the laptop!
    You guys know he could have gotten the laptop from someone else right?

      @@bmo401 you realize they don't get the money unless he's actually convicted, regardless that doesn't explain how Marcellus himself knew about details no one else knew nor does it explain his multiple confessions to others.
      The case for his innocence is extremely weak if actually bother to look at the details instead of repeating IP propaganda

    How can Geraldo not know about the hair and footprints found at the scene. It took me 10 minutes to find out where it came from. Geraldo knows nothing about this case. He didn’t even spend 10 minutes researching it. That’s how much Geraldo cares.
