WELL, DOESN'T THAT JUST SUCK

By Bob Walsh


Christopher Williams, 62, who spent 25 years on death row in Philadelphia was fatally shot while attending a funeral on Friday, less than two years after being exoneratedChristopher Williams, 62, who spent 25 years on death row in Philadelphia was fatally shot while attending a funeral on Friday, less than two years after being exonerated

 

Christopher Williams, 62, did almost 30 years in the slammer, 25 on death row, in Philadelphia.  He was acquitted of two murder charges and exonerated on the four others that he was actually in custody for.  He was released 22 months ago.

He was shot to death on Friday.  He had been tail-end Charlie on a funeral procession.  When the procession stopped he got out of his car and was shot in the head.  He died.  

He had a lawsuit pending against the D A who prosecuted him.  I wonder if she has an alibi.

When you are arrested, convicted and jailed for murder and then circumstances find you innocent, you better lay low because the true murderer may still be loose. Let's also not forget the victim's family. There are folks who may make sure justice is served.
