Atkidpro: I can't argue with you because its apparent that you lack the capacity and curiosity to understand the FACTS of these cases. Believe what you want. The FACTS speak for themselves. The "Brady" material, which the jury never heard, speaks for itself.
The Harold Deadman admission on Court TV speaks for itself. Here, the chief architect of the State's fiber case, the former FBI Chief Fiber Expert, admits that he wrongfully linked fibers from the trunk of a 1979 Ford LTD to the bodies of three murder victims, speaks for itself.
I suggest that you view the Court-TV documentary, read "The List" by Jeff Prugh and Chet Dettlinger and, above all, read the police files on these cases, especially the Clifford Jones Case, obtained years ago under the Freedom of Information Act. You'll see in those files that James Brooks, the suspect identified by three eyewitnesses as the killer of Clifford Jones, failed THREE polygraph tests. Yet, Jones' murder was among 22 others blamed on Wayne Williams. |

A federal judge in Atlanta has ordered the State of Georgia to hand over to her files and audiotapes containing wiretaps of Ku Klux Klansmen. This material, collected during the height of the Atlanta Missing and Murdered Cases, includes wiretaps made with an informant speaking to several Klansmen. In one conversation, a Klan member threatens to snatch more black children off Atlanta's streets. Whether the Klan actually committed any of these murders (no evidence they ever did) isn't the point. The point is; this was "Brady Material," exculpatory evidence, which should have been made available to Wayne Williams' defense and should have been heard by the jury. It wasn't. Legally, this could be very significant to Williams winning, at the very least, a hearing on his long standing habeas petition. As usual, most of the Atlanta media has ignored this new development.
