Here's more background. Not from an anti-death penalty advocate.
https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/files/pdf/Williams_8CAOpinion_2012.pdf Apparently stolen goods from the burglary were found in possession of William's family members. This discovery was made after a jailhouse snitch reported that he confessed to him. He also had a history of burglary and other violent crimes. ... Copied to Clipboard!

We shouldn't execute people when there is any doubt Judging from court documents, DNA exclusion by itself is not proof of innocence here. He became a suspect after a jailhouse snitch told police that he confessed to him. Police later searched the car he used and found some of the victim's stolen goods in it. His girlfriend gave testimony that incriminated him. Further, he had a history of burglary and other violent crime. ... Copied to Clipboard!

DK9292 posted...Turbam posted...wheredayayo posted...Of course he had to be black. If he was anything else tc wouldnt care Their main evidence is a confession received from an informant, and stolen goods found in his car, correct? Which are circumstantial at best. I don't know much about America, but over here you're innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I utterly fail to see how "the DNA on the knife turned out be from someone different" is NOT cause for reasonable doubt. --- "If the heroes run and hide, who'll stay and fight?" ~Saitama ...

Because in this case, based just on the prosecutor quoted in the article in the OP, there was enough non DNA evidence to convict him. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ...

Because it was DNA on a knife....all that means is that that knife was used on someone else also. It's not like we are talking about DNA from a rape kit not matching. Whether this needed a stay of execution or not I don't know....how did they link him to the knife is an important question. --- "There's nothing gay about liking a nice feminine penis." crazygamer21 ...

Its also worth noting that the defense team goes to the press and tells their side in a last ditch effort so that people like TC read the biased story and repost it all over the internet with deceptive titles like the one in this thread.
The guy may be innocent, I have no clue and am not pretending to, but he isn't innocent at this moment. He was tried before a jury and found guilty. His case has been through multiple appeals and that verdict hasn't changed. The one thing that stands out as weird to me is that according to the one article it looks like he did get a stay to perform DNA testing at one point. Its odd that a court granted that type of stay but would ignore any new evidence resulting from DNA, unless its really not important. Who knows what actually happened; I'm too lazy right now to look into it. --- ************************************************ http://i.imgur.com/iZdWIKJ.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

The snitch's account is what led to the finding of the stolen goods in his grandfather's car. Coincidence? His girlfriend also gave testimony that incriminated him. Then you have his history of violence and burglary. That's a pretty strong circumstantial case. The DNA on the knife is simply irrelevant. Secondary transfer happens all the time. ...
