       | The current post title, "Missouri is about to execute a man even
       | the prosecution believes is innocent", overstates the case for
       | his innocence. From the article:
       | 
       |  _Other evidence that helped convict Williams "remains intact,"
       | the attorney general said.
       | 
       | "The victim's personal items were found in Williams's car after
       | the murder. A witness testified that Williams had sold the
       | victim's laptop to him. Williams confessed to his girlfriend and
       | an inmate in the St. Louis City Jail, and William's girlfriend
       | saw him dispose of the bloody clothes worn during the murder,"
       | the attorney general's office said._

         | of execution, it seems like a no brainer.
