Missouri Executes Man Despite Questions About Evidence

theonion.com Missouri Executes Man Despite Questions About Evidence

The state of Missouri executed Marcellus Williams shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request for a delay, forging ahead despite forensics experts determining that he was not the source of DNA found on the knife used in the murder. What do you think?

Ouch. The Onion: this is effectively just reporting on real events…
- This is their section called "American Voices" where the story is a real, actual event that happened but commentated on by satirical representations of Americans.
  
  And it's always those same people
If you don't want to be executed, maybe just don't be vaguely associated with the crime?
- Have you tried being white?
Hey Missouri. Get fucked, you shithole state.
this could be in c/nottheonion
- The story is real in the American Voices features but the commentary is satirical
  
  Oh, right! I get that, but it’s just so on the nose that it could be in either. Sadly, it’s not satire.
