Missouri man executed despite prosecutor's opposition

A Missouri man was executed on Tuesday, according to the state's Department of Corrections, even though the prosecutor's office that secured his murder conviction 21 years ago expressed doubts about the integrity of the case and the victim's family said he should be spared. The U.S. Supreme Court, the last body that could have halted the execution, declined to intervene in the case hours before Marcellus Williams, 55, was put to death by lethal injection shortly after 6 p.m. (2300 GMT) at a prison in Bonne Terre.
