BushwoodADump: I worked with Bob Sirkin on the CourtTV Documentary on these cases. It was first aired in 2000 and re-aired last month.
Sirkin did nearly all of the interviews for the documentary, including the one with Harold Deadman, the FBI's former chief fiber expert. Sirkin got Deadman to admit that he mistakenly linked fibers from a car to three victims whose murders were blamed on Wayne Williams. That was one hell of an admission! Sirkin's reporting on this story has never been challenged by anyone other than those officials who played a role in convicting Wayne Williams. Most of them have refused to be interviewed.

Read the post about Court TV:
"Sirkin got Deadman to admit that he mistakenly linked fibers from a car to three victims whose murders were blamed on Wayne Williams. That was one hell of an admission!"
And it would be if it were accurate.
I'll do this one last time.
Ford Trunk Liner fibers showed up on 3 murder victims. Wayne's family had a Ford LTD. FBI links the two.
Sirkin says - "But the family didn't have the car during this time - so it couldn't be a match, right?" FBI Deadman says "I guess so, I made a mistake."
But Wayne's family had rental records for 3 other cars during this SAME time. At lest two were FORDS with ford trunk liner fibers.
All FORDS had the same trunk liner fibers. So the ford fibers still match the victims.
This came out DURING THE TRIAL. Sirkin should have known this and given Deadman the complete story.
