We demand a stay of execution for Willie Manning until DNA tests confirm guilt or innocence.
Why is this important?
Willie Manning has been in death row in Mississippi for almost 20 years, and the only evidence against him was testimony from another inmate, who claims he confessed to the murder of Tiffany Miller and John Steckler. This inmate was already known for unreliable testimony against 2 other people, and has since recanted his testimony. Manning is scheduled to be executed on Tuesday, and the Mississippi supreme court has just found that a DNA test which could prove his innocence is not necessary.
