Marcellus Williams, a man on death row in the 1998 death of Lisha Gayle, is expected to avoid execution and be resentenced to life without parole, following a plea deal Wednesday.

Attorneys for Marcellus Williams agreed to an Alford plea, which retains a conviction for a first-degree murder charge in Gayle’s death.

Williams was set to be executed for the murder on Sept. 24, 2024, but he is expected to be resentenced to life without parole under the plea deal. A formal sentencing hearing was originally scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning but has now been rescheduled to Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 8:30 a.m.
