They are reopening the Atlanta Child Murders?
Wow-just listening to CNN about this. This has been a year for serial killers' old cases.

1. Really?!?
Do you think Wayne Williams may be innocent after all?

I have felt that he probably was guilty of maybe ONE murder-but not all. The above title is about the case.

4. Good
He might have been guilty of some but I highly doubt he was guilty of all the murders credited to him. How often do serial killers use various methods such as stabbing, strangling, shotting, etc, and victimize men and women as young as 7 and into their 20's?

6. That's interesting
I have heard many times that there is a question about his guilt, but I never thought they would reopen the case.
I really don't know what to think about it all. It seemed that it was a very circumstantial case against him, but then again he seemed to be guilty just by some of his actions.
It will be interesting if they open it back up and can provide new evidence either way.

7. I never thought he was a serial killer.
There have been murders of black children going on down there for years, both boys and girls. He got pinned for some of them so people's fears would be aleviated. There are many different theories, but most of them are of many different people committing these murders. There was a movie a few years back with Jim Belushi investigating the murders. It was on Showtime, and I can't remember what it was called. It was good, but didn't really solve anything.
