PHILADELPHIA (AP) A Philadelphia judge halted next week’s scheduled execution of a teen killer after finding the trial prosecutor suppressed evidence the victim was molesting boys, “sanitized” witness statements before giving them to the defense and lied about a secret deal she’d struck with the accomplice.
The judge also tossed out Terrance “Terry” Williams’ death sentence, granting him a new sentencing hearing. She upheld his first-degree murder conviction.
