This is an interesting take:
"The court is pushing to execute him because it says the evidence showing he is innocent should not be considered at all."
It's the law which excludes consideration of that evidence. The court was asked to stop that and declined. To say the court is "pushing to execute him" narrowly assigns blame for this provision, which 91 US Senators approved and Bill Clinton signed:
