So it seems that the original case rested on the following:

- Williams GF witness testimony, that Williams confessed to her.

- Jailhouse witness testimony, that Williams had confessed to them.

- That Williams had items (purse, laptop, etc.) in his car, on the day or day after the murder.

But no DNA evidence?

A death penalty seems pretty egregious, when you have that kind of evidence. Seems like there's plenty of reasonable doubt in the picture.

(FWIW, I completely oppose the death penalty - on the grounds that innocent people have been executed. One is one too many)
