That should not happen. On Friday in the Philadelphia Court of Common
Pleas, Mr. Williams’s lawyers are scheduled to explain why a state trial
judge should stay his execution and why the Philadelphia district
attorney should agree that his sentence be commuted to life without
parole. There is compelling evidence for both.
Mr. Williams was sentenced to death for killing a man named Amos Norwood
during a robbery. His co-defendant, Marc Draper, convinced the jury
that Mr. Williams was a predatory killer. But from childhood, Mr.
Williams was often sexually abused by Mr. Norwood and others.
