Murder Story

On September 25, 1989, Christopher Williams murdered three men in Germantown, Pennsylvania. The victims were Otis Reynolds, 22, Kevin Anderson, 19, and Gavin Anderson. They were drug dealers from New York and had traveled to Pennsylvania with $26,400 in drug money to buy guns. During the incident, Williams shot all three men. After the murders, he dumped their bodies in different locations.

In a previous crime, on February 18, 1989, Williams shot and killed a cab driver named William Graham, who was 63 years old. He shot Graham in the back of the head. Williams later stated that he killed Graham to show that he could kill someone innocent. This act also led to a life sentence for Williams.

Williams was convicted of the three murders in 1993. The jury recommended three consecutive death sentences for him. The state Supreme Court of Pennsylvania upheld his death sentence on October 2, 1998. An execution date was set for March 23, but Williams received a stay. The U.S. Supreme Court then denied his petition, lifting the stay.
