jason carol joins me and you have been following this. i am trying to remember all the facts of the case and whether this was an expected decision, a surprise, and i am not sure i can put my finger on either. >> as i was sitting in the court last week, to me it was not unexpected simply from the way that the judge was questioning the prosecution about their case. if i can just backtrack just a little bit, what was happening is both sides were in front of a common appeals court judge teresa simeno and the prosecution was saying we did not suppress evidence in this case back in 1984. this did not happen. if anyone wanted to talk about these allegations of sexual abuse at the time, terrance williams could have done that. the defense is saying no way, this is what happened here. you had evidence back then in 1984 that amos norwood had a sexual relationship. >> the victim. >> the victim, with terrance williams and not only that, you also had evidence back in 1984 that amos norwood, the victim in the case, had been abusing other boys as well, a

cnn's jason carol has been covering the hearing. g had very strong words for the prosecutors. >> no question about that. this is a real blow for the prosecution. and common appeals court judge theresa samina did not mince words. she said the prosecutor on the original case, andrea folks, took measures to win, suppressed evidence, and presented jurors an incplete and misleading portrayal of the victim. the victim was 56-year-old amos norwood, a jury found terrence williams guilty of brutally murdering him. prosecutors called the case back then a case of robbery. williamsne the was a lot more to it. they say norwood had been sexually abusing williams and other teenage boys and they say foulkes knew about the allegations an suppressed evidence back in 1986. listen to what foulkes had to say about thahen iaught up with heruslast week. i didn't suppress evidence at l,ve, and i w never sussevidence. >> well, within the past hour, the phadelph distric rn held pre conference cally making the villain out to be the victim. he also said if wlia
