the Supreme KKKourt is allowing it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marcellus-williams-execution-supreme-court-stay-denied/

Then, hours before Williams was set to be executed, then-Gov. Eric Greitens called it off and appointed a panel of five retired judges to investigate the DNA evidence. The board, however, was dissolved by Parson in June 2023 and never issued its final report.

So the supreme court just declared the state can murder an innocent token to save it's own face / ego.

They're into that kind of thing

Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390 (1993), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled by 6 votes to 3 that a claim of actual innocence does not entitle a petitioner to federal habeas corpus relief by way of the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Or, as the Onion has put it, "Supreme Court Overturns Right v. Wrong."
