...become a failed music promoter and freelance photographer, was, at 23, a convicted killer. Surrounded by four sheriffs deputies who have guarded him since the trial began last December, Williams stared silently as Judge Clarence Cooper sentenced him to two consecutive life sentences for the murders of Nathaniel Cater, 27, and Jimmy Ray Payne...
...Cater and Payne were two of the victims in a string of 29 apparently related strangulations and knifings of young blacks in Atlanta. That epidemic of killings terrorized the city for 22 months and prompted the wearing of green ribbons around the nation as a symbol of concern. Williams has been implicated in a dozen of the murders.

Last week the defense fought back. Kansas State University Professor Randall Bresee claimed that the prosecution's fiber analysis was too imprecise. In fact...
Although Williams is on trial only for the murders of Cater and Payne, Judge Clarence Cooper has permitted evidence that also links the defendant with ten other young, black, male homicide victims. Central to that evidence are tiny synthetic textile fibers found on each of the twelve victims' corpses, which forensic experts say were very likely picked up from Williams' bedding, rugs and cars. Yet it is impossible to trace any fiber conclusively to a particular garment, and none potentially from the victims' clothing was found clinging to Williams' belongings...
