For them. i simply said now who s splitting hairs? were you trained that i had some contact with some person, and that s all i m gonna say. were you trained that s all i m going to say. in these techniques? that s all i m going to say. he did acknowledge it was cia training but said no more. so is this true? or only a fantasy in his mind? the mind of a man the courts have found to be a killer? we ll leave that question with you. the verdict is now yours to decide. again the choices, guilty, innocent, or a third choice, not proven either way. in a few moments we ll show you the verdicts that our audiences reached when this documentary was first broadcast. but before then, a look at some of the answers from those who lived through the terror 30 years ago. the prosecutor.
Among them, clifford jones and yusef bell. but without trials, the mothers were left without a verdict, one way or the other, in the deaths of all of the children. camille bell. even if it takes 30 trials, i don t care, you know, prove it. the prosecutor s answer, it would serve no purpose. you can only serve one life sentence. just ahead a new alibi that backfires. he was out that night, no question in my mind. he was not at home. he was out and about. and after all these years, new dna evidence. it probably would exclude 98% or so of the people in the world. vo: today s the day.
Anybody. the jury didn t come back until late the second evening. the verdict, guilty on both counts of murdering the two adults, cater and payne. wayne williams was sentenced to serve two life terms. people only wanted to look at the negative side because they wanted in their heart for this case to be over and for wayne to be the atlanta monster. they wanted closure at any cost. leaving court, homer williams walked by the prosecutor s table. he looked at us and called us sons-of-bitches. still to come, no verdict in the deaths of any of the children. even if it takes 30 trials, i don t care, you know. prove it. hey pal? you ready?

Henry worked with cater. he said he saw him leave this theater with wayne williams on the night of the bridge incident. henry has no doubt even today about what he saw. they were holding hands, you know, like male and female. well, if you re holding hands with one of my co-workers and both of you are males what am i supposed to do turn my head? the next time i saw him, he was in the courtroom. when wayne williams took the stand, he swore he never met nathaniel cater. on the evening henry said he saw them, wayne testified he was home, sick and asleep in bed. his mother and father, now deceased, backed him up. homer williams said he had the white station wagon until almost midnight. under cross-examination, in his third day on the stand, wayne williams blew up at prosecutor jack mallard. that morning, he was a complete different person.
