The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied Willie Jerome Manning's latest appeal, which could lead to a scheduled execution date after he spent over 30 years on death row for the 1992 murders of two college students. Manning's attorney argues that new evidence, including witness recantations, undermines his conviction, while the court ruled that Manning has had sufficient legal recourse. In a separate case, a federal appeals court upheld the detention of Nyynkpao Banyee, a lawful U.S. resident from the Ivory Coast, during his deportation process, citing no violation of due process. Meanwhile, the Kansas Court of Appeals is deliberating on overturning Brian Betts' conviction based on alleged misconduct by a disgraced detective, Roger Golubski, who is facing serious criminal charges. Lastly, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office plans to appeal a judge's ruling that upheld the death sentence for Marcellus Williams, who is scheduled for execution amid questions about DNA evidence related to the case. The close examination of these cases highlights ongoing concerns about fairness and justice in the legal system.
