  • Marcellus Williams was charged with the murder of Felicia Gayle. Prosecutors based evidence mainly on alleged confessions Williams had made, including one alleged by a jailhouse snitch.

    In August 2001, Williams was sentenced to death. On appeal, he raised several issues, including claims of errors in evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, and victim impact testimony. He also challenged the use of his prior criminal history and alleged improper prosecutorial comments during closing arguments.

    The death sentence was controversial, as DNA evidence had been claimed to prove his innocence, and the family of Gayle repeatedly stating they did not want Williams executed.

    Despite pleas from the public and the family of Gayle stating they were opposed to the execution, on September 24, 2024, 55-year-old Williams was executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CT.

    So, even the family of the victim was against it. An innocent man died while the real criminal is out there.




  • Isn’t Lula friends with Castro Hugo Chavez and many other Iberoamerican socialists?

    Yes, Lula and the Workers Party are friends with Chavez, Castro, etc… The Workers Party have recently got closer with the CPC, since back in the 1980’s, they used to be Pro-Soviet instead of Pro-China. But that changed during the 2000’s. Lula is moderate but his party is more left than him, but they still have rightist factions inside it together with the more radical left ones.

    I think Castro was one of the person that said to Lula to never give up on politics, to continue doing what he was doing because it was only a matter of time before he got elected. And Castro was right.
