type='html'>Terrance Williams, now 46-years old, is set to be executed by the state of Pennsylvania on October 3, 2012 for killing two of his childhood sexual abusers, raising the question of whether his punishment is too severe. Supporters are petitioning Gov. Corbett to grant him clemency.
According to CNN, defense attorneys are arguing that the jurors who convicted Williams more than 25 years ago were told that it was a robbery-homicide case, and never learned of the alleged sexual abuse.
