the murder happened just three months after terry williams turned 18 years old. th the jury in the case did not know is that norwood had sexually abused williams and had allegedly, violently raped him the night before. furthermore, williams had suffered years of physical and sexual abuse by older men. most recently, evidence has emerged the prosecutors tried to make robbery seem like the motive for the case, even though william's co-defendant knew about the sexual abuse. a hearing on this part of the case is set to take place today in philadelphia. now as terry wins execution is set to take place in less than a month from october 3, five of the jurors in the case have since come ford said they believe life without parole would have been the appropriate sentence because the did not know all the facts. even more would cost would no, the murdered man's widow, has asked that williams' be scared. she recently wrote -- all of this comes as pennsylvania has recently dealt with two high-profile cases of sexual abuse including former penn state assistant football coach jer

a philadelphia judge just ruled that terry williams will not be executed on october 3rd. we talked about this case on this program last week. this man was scheduled to be put to both on wednesday next week for brutally killing another man in the '80s. there is no doubt he is guilty. let's state that. it is obvious. but, and there is a big but, his lawyers say that he did this because he had been repeatedly raped by the man he killed and that the jurors were not given all the evidence. >> the prosecutors knew that mr. norwood was alleged to have been abusing children, was never revealed before. they wanted this to be about a robbery, and that's the way they shaded the testimony. >> so today the judge in the case has decided that he does not deserve to die but he does deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison. 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

there is no doubt that terry williams is guilty. let's just say that.illed two men in the 1980s. in fact, one of them he brutally beat senselessly in a cemetery. a man with a tire iron. it's awful. he is supposed to be executed on october 3rd for one of those murders because he just turned 18 when he did that second murder, but here's the catch. what his jurors did not know when they condemned him was that terry williams' victims, the people he killed, had been abusing him for years. allegedly this had been going on repeated rapes, and it wasn't just a few. he had been abused for so long in his life listen to what one of the jurors has to say now. >> there was no information at all brought out about any sexual abuse, whether he was a child or from the two victims. there was nothing brought out about that. >> now that i know about the sexual abuse and all that, that's why i'm doing this video because i feel bad that this person is on death row and there was evidence or other things that we should have been told about. >> there were five jurors, joey jack
