Row Your Boat

At some point today Williams, 46, could be taken from his cell in shackles and, under an escort of state prison officers and state troopers, begin the 200-mile, four-hour drive to the state prison at Rockview in Bellefonte to prepare for an injection of lethal chemicals…

Williams’ death warrant for the June 11, 1984 murder of Germantown churchman Amos Norwood expires at midnight and right now it has been blocked by last Friday’s ruling by Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina. Sarmina ruled that evidence of Norwood’s sexual predation on teenage boys – including Williams – was withheld from the defense in his 1986 trial, making it more likely for the jury to sentence Williams to death.
