Willie "Pete" Williams released in Georgia

Posted: January 25, 2007



Last week, DNA testing proved the innocence of Willie "Pete" Williams, who had served nearly 22 years for a rape he didn't commit. Now, he is awaiting a court hearing officially exonerating him of the crime. 

Read more about the case at the Georgia Innocence Project's website.

UPDATE: Student involvement helped win Williams' freedom. (Atlanta Journal Constitution, 01/28/07, free subscription required)
