Williams was convicted of six murders, including one triple murder in 1989, but freed after almost 30 years in prison when his final murder charge was tossed because evidence of prosecutorial misconduct came to light.

Williams was part of a funeral procession for formerly incarcerated friend Tyree Little in Philadelphia, his friends told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

As he stepped out of his car on the 3000 block of Lehigh Avenue at around 2.20pm, he was shot once in the head.

Someone exacted revenge on his getting freed for prosecutorial misconduct.

Safer on death row than on the streets of Philadelphia.

The boy shouldn’t have blamed his lawyer for him being found guilty. ROTFL! All’s well, that ends well. Adios cowboy.

The “Rich Corinthian Leather” actually came from a factory near Newark New Jersey.

This certainly brightens up the day...
