[Be patient with me, folks. I am slowly learning my way around this splendid website.]

Did the DNA tests on the dog finally put this case to rest or hace his lawyers mounted (yet another) theory? If so, what is their new theory?

Help would be appreciated.

I saw him interviewed, and something he does bothers me: He talks in the third person, and I think that reveals his hubristic personality. It seems to me that his lawyers would have tried to keep him off of the witness stand—and perhaps they did—because his performance was a disaster, and I really do believe that it revealed him as being hubristic.

Thank you. I found the below in my quest. I doubt this will "end it" but according to this, the DNA matched:

Quote:

On January 29, 2007 lawyers for the state of Georgia agreed to allow DNA testing of dog hair that was used to convict Wayne Williams. The decision came in a response to a filing as part of Williams' efforts to appeal his conviction and life sentence. Williams' lawyer, Jack Martin, asked a Fulton County Superior Court judge to allow DNA tests on dog and human hair and blood that might help win Williams a new trial.

On June 26, 2007 the test results were released and found Wayne Williams to be guilty.

NOTE: I hope is is okay to post a wikipedia link. If it isn't, I guess I am going to find out the hard way (be merciful!).

I did search CL before looking at wiki and other sources.

However, I did log in to the message boards before doing my search of CL.

Thus thanks (again) for the tip.
