In May of 2013, a small, dedicated team and I took to the airwaves, rallying listeners to prevent the unjust execution of Willie Manning. Together, we secured a stay of execution. Approximately 2 years later he was exonerated for the tragic murders of the elderly mother and daughter. The second double murder conviction is of two Mississippi State University college students.
Manning was sentenced to death based on a narrative concocted by the sheriff, Dolph Bryan. No eyewitnesses, DNA, fingerprints, or fibers linked Manning to the crimes he was convicted of. Willie is currently on death row for an additional crime he did not commit. Join our cause to champion justice for Willie Manning and shed light on his case. We're rallying support to amplify awareness and garner public attention, but we need your help. Organizing events and launching awareness campaigns come with costs, and visiting Mr. Manning in prison especially considering the distance, adds to the financial strain. Your contributions will make a difference. Join us in our quest for justice and let's stand together for Willie Jerome Manning.
As the clock ticks, we refuse to let injustice prevail. Join us in our urgent efforts to stand with Willie Manning and fight against this impending injustice. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that justice is served. This is not just about raising funds – it’s about spotlighting an egregious miscarriage of justice and giving Willie Manning a voice. This is about publicizing Willie Manning’s egregious story.
To make matters worse, law enforcement pressured jailhouse informants, desperate individuals willing to fabricate testimony in exchange for leniency on their charges. Willie's conviction rested on these lies, leaving him to face the ultimate punishment of death, without any concrete evidence against him. No witnesses, and no physical evidence.
