Reporter: Williams wants his freedom [View All]

[Aretha]

WHITFIELD: And are prosecutors right when they say that it's not just pushing for clemency, to have life in prison on parole or without parole, but instead that he actually wants release?

BRESLAU: Well, I thought that was the most interesting thing he said in the interview. When I asked him, "Is it true, as the prosecutors told the governor, that this is not about clemency. You want out?" And he said, "If I am innocent, if the district attorney were an innocent man, and he were in my position, wouldn't he fight? Why shouldn't I fight?" Implicitly saying, "Look, you know, if I live to fight another day, I'm going to continue to appeal this."

Well, so much for clemency for Williams being all about death vs. life in prison without the possibility of parole. Let's just put that myth to rest.
