Pennsylvania Set to Execute Man Who Killed His Molesters [Video]
Terrance Williams is set to be executed in Pennsylvania for killing two of his s****l abusers, raising the question of whether his punishment is 
too severe. What is most horrible about this case is that Williams was not only abused by his molesters, but also by his mother and alcoholic father:
…..behind the image of Williams as a model student athlete was a childhood marred by horrific physical and s****l abuse that began from the time Williams was just 6 years old. Relentlessly beaten by his mother (herself a victim of abuse) and his alcoholic stepfather and gang-raped at a juvenile detention center when he was 16, by the time Williams killed Norwood he was regularly cutting himself, abusing drugs and alcohol, and had endured more than a decade of abuse.
Later Williams would be accosted by another man, Herbert Hamilton, who supported Ben Franklin High School basketball team. Hamilton used the basketball team as a way to scout for young homosexual partners. Terrance Williams was reportedly over to Hamilton’s house a lot and killed him during a struggle when Hamilton demanded that Williams pose naked for him. Williams was convicted of murder and sentenced to 27 years in prison.
Williams was in jail when he was convicted of killing Amos Norwood, who led the altar boys and directed the Youth Theater Fellowship at Philadelphia’s St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and had been beaten with a tire iron, set on fire, and left in a cemetery. What the jury didn’t know was that Norwood had been raping Williams since he was 13.
Now Williams is scheduled to be executed for killing Norwood, even though there is overwhelming support for clemency in the case. Twenty-two former prosecutors, eight retired judges, forty-seven mental health professionals, and a majority of the jurors on the case have come forward to support clemency in this case. Even Mr. Norwood’s widow has come forward on behalf of Williams.
For more, here is a segment from Democracy Now which provides more detail.

No way this man should die! When Clintonboy was the governor of Arkansas, he pardoned a convict, who murdered, robbed, stealed and killed, but he pardoned this felon because he had cancer!!! While, he was out he murdered another person, and died in prison! He should’ve been put to death, the second he re-entered the prison, but he DIED without being executed.
O’Drama should pardon this brother NOW! These demon/devils LOVE to kill Black men!
Now, y’all see why I call them demon/devils!!!
THE TRUTH ALWAYS SURFACE TO THE TOP!!!
I have been keeping tabs on this story and he will not be facing the MURDER BED, for the time being!
What makes this case so bad, is a negroid attorney wants to see him DIE, along with is caucasoid prosecutors!!! If that ain’t a slave; tell me I’m lying! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE EDUCATED SLAVES AND FOOLS?
They [courts] also had EVIDENCE that the brother was being raped, but NEVER BROUGHT THAT TO THE TRIAL!!! A new attorney has taken over the case, who is a caucasian. These negroid attorneys ain’t shyt!
“Twenty-two former prosecutors, eight retired judges, forty-seven mental health professionals, and a majority of the jurors on the case have come forward to support clemency in this case. Even Mr. Norwood’s widow has come forward on behalf of Williams.”
THEY KNEW THIS BROTHER WAS INNOCENT!!!
May love endure and save this man in the name of the spirit that loves us unconditionally.
We must stand up for forgiveness!
Racially, we must fight against racial injustices and racism!
Forgiveness is the essence and key to restore hope in the world.
Positive Vibrations, yeah!
poor guy – how has he survived this long? I’ll take him home in a minute and protect him from everyone!!!
He’s too far gone. No outside time for this bro. Maybe locked up some place where he can’t go off on innocent people.
such a sad story, because this kid never really had a chance, his life was taken away from him many years ago when he was a child that was being physical, emotionally and sexually abuse by his septfather and many other individuals that took advantage of this young kid for so many years.
Now the criminal justice system wants to make things right by taking his life, so again, the system that was in place to protect him has failed him once again.
I am not saying that he should go free, because a crime was committed and he has to be held accountable for his actions and I believe him spending the next 25 years in prison should be enough on him and the rest of his family.
This Brother should be at the Mall! This is like Tyler Perry’s Story up in them Churches getting touched by Men & said nothing! Because he liked it,if not then why you didn’t tell? Tyler Perry is h**o always wearing a Dress & you a Man! This Negro is Funnier than a Deck of Cards lol I’m am Glad this Brother Killed these Fagits they ALL need to be taken care of in the same way! This type of Deathstyle is from Europe Greece & Rome All Fagits,you won’t find no Black people like this unless touched by Satan! If you a Black h**o I give you 3 Years & these Devils will be rid of you! Or your Backside will be a Tunnel! lol Clean it up My real people! Whiteboys love to Break Blackmen because it’s a Game once we are all dead they can play with Sisters in Ancient times once a Nation or people were Defeated their Women became Bootie! Start reading your Bible instead of letting Rev Pigfoot reading it for you,u better stop being Lazy!
this is a sad situation that the justice system would even think about killing this young man; when he has already been killed by these me that molested;raped; sexually abused him time and time again; they deserved everything that they got. i to was molested and raped to the point that i tried to kill my self. but god had other plans for my life. And that was to help people that had been through the same thing that i have been through. And to show them that there is some one that cares about them and that does not want to do any harm to them. i pray that god does a turn around for Terrance; think about it if it was you; just imagine be sexually molested and rape all your life; after awhile there comes a turning point when you just can not take any more !!!!!!!!!!!
That’s good of you to help others who have been through the same thing as you. I wish you all the best in life.
My heart breaks for the young man in this story. He never had a chance in life. Now they want to kill him.
I have signed the petition.
I hope they don’t kill him….this is a sad story…it sounds like he just snapped off.No child should ever be violated and victimized over and over again.
Please vindicate this young man.. My heart goes out to you. If you were raised in the right environment none of this would have occurred.
May the peace of God be with you.
We love you Terreance Williams.
Its unfortunate the suffering this young man has endured in his life, but he murdered two people. Just because you are sexually abused doesn’t give you the right to beat someone to death and then catch him on fire. This man had been molesting him for years and he never said one word. He should have been stood up for himself. I understand this comes from years of abuse but he should have thought some stuff through. He is a danger to society and he may not deserve the death penalty but he definately deserves to be in jail for the rest of his life.
It seems that the FAILURE OF THE SOCIAL AGENCIES should be put to death (fired from their jobs) for not protecting this child from the onset. Someone had to discover this since it commenced at an early age. WHY WAS NOT SOMETHING DONE? An investigation, might have saved this child from the horrible abuses. Sanduski will not get the death penalty, will he? The Priest in all these Catholic organizations, will they get the death penalty? Common Sense and Decency doesn’t exist anymore, therefore INJUSTICE is the call of the day.
Good Points!!!
It’s amazing, when caucasoids commit these atrocities on young boys, it’s business as usual, but when a Black man DEFENDS himself, against people, who have messed his life up for good; he gets the death penalty!!!
Look at Charles Manson. This b*****d KILLED people, and is not on death row!!! He has a life sentence, plus he was an agent, anyway!!! So was Jim Jones!!! Tim McVeigh, the shooter in Denver; they were ALL agents. This is why they NEVER get shot by the cracker pigs, even when they have WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION in their hands!!!
WAKE UP FOLKS!!!
This is so typical…
The problem is that no one cared when this young man and others are being victimized.
Where are the school counselors, the ministers.
Children and those who are being abused are programmed not to tell.
Adolesence is a time of not knowing who to trust. that in itself is sad.
So many of these stories are coming to the media.
Is any child, or young adult safe.
Every time I hear about these situations, I wonder what is happening to families.
We see movies about violence and abuse.
It is almost as if, it has become exciting to the writers.
I know that this forum is for opinions;but when are the opinions going to help these victims.
I,Keep reading about the children who are being bullied and are bullying. about rape cases, about victims of violence and abuse.
Yes, we have centers and shelters, but what is happening in the schools. Fights and violence.
Hatred has taken over Love. It is horrible to read that parents abused this young man. Who was he going to turn to, when others may have known what was happening to him.
There are so many, that do not tell until they are old enough to try and defend themselves.
I am not saying to kill is right,but most people kill out of fear, anger or hopeless.
We are not talking about those who kill for meanness or just evil;but those who kill to save themselves.
How many have to suffer in silence,until they feel they can get help.
By that time, they are usually almost grown or victims of the system.
e spend millions of dollars on things that are not important and yet the country can not help these victims,before the killings come.
We have so many prisons and it seems that more and more AA, are still be incarcirated.
I do not know the answers,but I know that we are a country that feeds on the poor.
Where are the lawyers, who are suppose to help.
The doctors, who are to report abuse.
Teachers have to report any suspicion of abuse, but then the child has to admit to the abuse. Most are afraid.
Perhaps, some one has the answers.
It just breaks my heart.
I am not saying that we should ignore crime,but these storeis seem to be made criminal after the abuse,which is a crime.
Have we become so involved with the everyday living, that we do not see what is under our noses.
I am not any better than others, as we all turn our heads,but yes there is help.
We have shelters, and centers for the homeless. and we have juvinile centers after the fact.
I know we can not solve all the problems. A child will let someone, they trust know when they are hurting. A teenager will act out of his or her normal behavior. An adult will fight back, when they can.
This sound like the story just gets worse. I wonder, if some of the governors would talk to these victims, could some changes be made.
I believe in GOd, but I wonder sometimes, if our judicial system forgets that over every court room, is usually the words IN GOD WE TRUST, have they been taken out of the system. Where is Justice.
I ampraying for this young man and for the young woman in Florida and so many who are victims of violence and abuse.
May we come together for the good of mankind.
I am sure there are those who have negative comments,but are we, not still a nation that has at the base of the Statue of Liberty ,hope for all!
Please do not think I ignore these issues. I do what I can financially,as well as being informed and informing others of the help that is available.
Once a child become a certain age, he or she is treated as an adult.
Often their past is not permitted in the files.
There are so many that are hopeless and do not know where to turn.
Please help your communties to support the shelters.
We need compassionate law enforcers. Not just let issues go,but show some concern.
For the most part, I live in a community that has shelters, has couselors and even law enforcers who are compassionate.
I know each situation is different. Children who are abused, often become abusers, if they do not get help at early stages.
We are losing our children and young adults.
Where are the people who are getting rich off their records and movies, I hope that they are supporting the systems that can help.these victims.
I know that there are many who in fact have supported with large amounts of donations.
Our economy has cut out so many help centers
The system tries to protect them,when they are under the age of 16;but often at 16, they are emacipated from the system, or are under court supvision until they are 18; but often they still have no means to support themselves and become victims of the streets.
Violence is a crime and we spend much in taxes to keep the prisons open,but what about the preventive centers.
I am not so foolish, to think that this counry is going to be free of these terrible crimes,but when children suffer, a nation suffers,because they grow up, if they survive.
Many adults tell their stories about how they were abused,but often after they become adults, they try to forget what happened to them,until they have children.These public forums help to inform us about these situations and their are many opnions
This is just one young man, how many more are sitting in a prison, without any representation.
How many get sent to prison because of their age or ethnic status.
My heart goes out to all these young people,but this case is the one that is on this forum and we should pray for and seek justice.
My heart goes out to the young woman in Florida, who is in prison, because her husband was going to kill here.
These are real stories and real people.
Where are our politicians!
I can only pray that all people who are incarcirated, will get the counseling they deserve, when they have been victims of violence.
Because I believe in a higher power, I do not omit anyone from prayer;but too many of our youth are going to jail.
Too many women and children and men are being victims of abuse and violence.
Too many are dying,needlessly. Where is the Help?
I would help as many as I could, if I were a lawyer,but since I can only do as most concerned, be a person, who tries to work with the shelters.
There are not enough people for every victim.
One candle can light a path for many to see.
One prayer may help.
Many together, can make a change.
I have seen many youth and adults who have been abused and it is so sad, that it gets overwhelming.
yes, we can speak out against abuse, but we need money to keep the shelters open.Money to help with the counseling.
There are so many wonderful people who give and try to make a difference. This is a global problem and manyof these issues, need to be addressed by our legislature.
Clemency for a Black who killled a White, no matter what the provocation, is rather unlikely from Whites.
Although we know this is an atrocity, these types of offenses 27 years ago were covered up. No one would have even considered his allegations against a white man back then. Today, all of this is beginning to surface and maybe, just maybe, he may be able to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Tom Corbett (R-gov) is the biggest backwoods hood-wearing racist this side of the Mason Dixon line and rest assure there are going to be young men facing the same type of fate who will never have a chance at day-light until he and his philosophies are voted OUT!
I don’t think he should be executed, but he is a murderer, and should NOT be allowed on the streets again. He may snap and kill again. Unfortunately his mother was born to breed. SMDH @ these idiots having kids and not wanting them. I pray that this guy finds GOD in his heart, and changes his ways. The bible says: Eye for an eye, and Tooth for a tooth! Don’t commit the crime if u don’t want to do the time!
We must do better, we have too. Thou shalt not kill…I’m sure he could have gotten help before committing murder.
That bible also says…’a life for a life’, and you should be dead! You are one NIGorant caucasoid saying some shyt like that!
You crackers are MURDERERS, THIEVES, RAPIST, PEDOPHILES, demons, devils AND WRETCHES THEREFORE, He had a RIGHT to kill those demon/devils!
YOU CRACKERS GET AWAY WITH MURDER ALL DAY; EVERYDAY WHEN BLACKS ARE INVOLVED, SO GO TELL YOUR MURDERING FOREFATHERS THE SAME SHYT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!!!
YOU BASTARDS ARE STILL WALKING THE STREETS FOR MURDERING BLACK PEOPLE FOR 500 d**n YEARS AND COUNTING…
mr williams need to be free. good he sent them to h**l he has to live with this for life. i sign his petition
Where is this petition I will sign it as well. This is insane. d**n can he have the rest of his life to live with freedom while here on earth? Why don’t these things never occur with whitey? Troy now this young man – when does it F’in STOP!!!!!
