       GRADY (KATV) — Marcel Williams was the second death row inmate
       to be executed by the state of Arkansas Monday night.
       Williams was put to death by way of lethal injection. The drugs
       were administered at 10:16 p.m. and Williams was pronounced dead
       at 10:33 p.m.
       Marcel Williams did not have any last words.
       Williams was convicted of killing Stacy Rae Errickson, a
       23-year-old mother of two, in Jacksonville in 1994.
       Errickson's family declined to comment immediately following the
       execution.
       Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson issued the following statement
       following the execution of Marcel Williams:
       After more than 20 years, justice has prevailed for the family
       of Stacey Errickson. I reviewed this case thoroughly and
       determined that clemency should not be granted. I appreciate the
       patience and long-suffering of the Errickson family through this
       ordeal. This is a serious and reflective time in our state and
       it is important for the Errickson family and all Arkansans to
       know that in this case our laws ended in justice.
       The execution was scheduled for 8:15 p.m., but United States
       District Judge Kristine Baker issued a temporary stay to allow
       the court to investigate the claims that the previous execution
       of inmate Jack Jones "appeared to be tortuous and inhuman."
       According to Arkansas Department of Correction Spokesman Solomon
       Graves, when the stay was handed down, Williams was already on
       the gurney in the death chamber. After the stay was issued,
       Williams asked to use the bathroom. He was taken to his cell and
       not brought back into the chamber until the stay was lifted.
       The Court denied the emergency motion, and the stay was lifted
       at approximately 9:30 p.m.
       Earlier Monday, both the Supreme Court of the United States and
       the Arkansas Supreme Court denied all requests for a stay of
       execution.
       The April 24 executions of Jack Jones and Marcel Williams mark
       the nation's first double execution in more than 16 years. They
       are the second and third inmates to be executed in Arkansas in
       less than one week.
