Hello Terry,
I remembered the case but must admit I could not recall the name of the
victim or of the perpetrator. I agree that whatever allowed Williams to
avoid punishment was a travesty. Does Denny suffer periods of rage?
Somewhere in my memory, I though he actually asked for mercy for those who
attacked him. Hard to believe. I don't believe I could have done that.
In fact, I think it was wrong of him to do so if his appeal in any way
moved the jury not to jail Williams and anyone else who participated.
Joan
