Some context:

Williams had an extensive criminal record.

Lara Asaro, the girlfriend of Williams at the time of the crime, gave testimony that Williams had confessed to her and detailed what had happened. This is after she discovered evidence from the crime scene in Williams' car.

Unlike Cole's deposition, which was compatible with news reports, she is said to have provided details that had not been mentioned in the public accounts of the crime,[13][14] a point contested by the Innocence Project.[2][15]

A witness testified that Williams had sold the victim’s laptop to him.[16]

Just casually blaming a victim of lynching for being lynched. I bet you're the type that peddled the George Floyd overdose conspiracy too. 🙄

I'm only posting some context from Wikipedia, I didn't make a comment in either direction

Wikipedia is not a source. Literally anyone can edit it to say anything at any time.
