The main problem, as I see it, was the conflation of all the murders into one grouping. The victims that Williams was convicted of murdering (Nathaniel Cater and Jimmy Payne) were not children at all, but aged 21 and 27 at their times of death. I think these crimes were unconnected with the child murders, but the Atlanta police and prosecutors had to find someone. Is Williams guilty of these? The evidence is a bit shallow, and I don't think I would have been able to convict. There were also quite a few legal rulings against Williams that prevented a vigorous defense. So, you may be right. My main point, however, was that the general conflation of all these murders was the first error.
