The court said John Charles Zim merman Jr., convicted of abducting and killing his 10-year-old niece, should be retried because a letter he wrote to his wife wound up in inves tigators’ hands. It was forwarded to them through Zimmerman’s mother-in-law. James Carol Williams, convicted of killing a service station clerk, was granted a new trial because a pro spective juror was excused after ex pressing reservations about the death penalty. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a case decided two years after Wil liams’ trial, ruled that potential ju rors cannot be excused on that basis. The Court of Criminal Appeals has applied that decision retroacti vely in Texas cases. “The passage of time has proven to be a true ally to” Williams, Judge M.P. Duncan III said in the Court of Criminal Appeals’ unanimous deci sion to overturn Williams’ convic tion. 76% PASS RATE Williams was convicted in the July 6, 1977 shooting death of Mohamad Youssef Awada. He had been sen tenced to die on Jan. 13 of this year, but the Court of Criminal Appeals stayed the execution on Jan. 5. Zimmerman was found guilty in the March 24, 1977 stabbing death of Ramona Abner, his niece and a third-grade student at Jacinto City Elementary School. Zimmerman picked the girl up at school, appar ently without the parents’ permis sion, and sexually assaulted her be fore leaving her body at a construction site where he had worked. While in jail, Zimmerman wrote a letter to his wife, Sherry Zimmer man, saying he had committed the murder.
