Christopher Williams
was convicted in the 1989 murders of 3 men in Germantown,
Pennsylvania.
Otis Reynolds, 22,
Kevin Anderson, 19, and Gavin Anderson, were drug dealers from New
York. They had come to the Philadelphia area with $26,400 in drug
money to buy guns. The three men were shot and their bodies were
dumped in different various locations. The jury recommended three
death sentences.
On 2/18/89,
Williams had killed William Graham, 63, a cab driver who was shot in
the back of the head. Williams received a life sentence in this
case.
Testimony showed
that he killed William Graham to prove that he could kill an
innocent person.
The state Supreme
Court upheld Williams' death sentence on Oct. 2, 1998. Williams'
execution had been scheduled for March 23, but he received a stay.
The US Supreme Court denied his petition and the stay was lifted.
