Yes there is a possibility for a retrial when new evidence is revealed but Will admitted to killing his father when he was tried initially so i dont think there's any way around that. I wish there was. There is a possiblity for clemency, and the media could play a part there.

many of us, including myself, have been in his shoes, of course. but initially when i posted my first response it was to the other two people who were saying they went to visit him and also about jehovah loving human sacrifices. i know i was defensive but mostly because i too, have been involved in brainwashing organized religion and had abuse in the mix with that. i'm not saying that i or even Will should be pityed but i think those jehovah's witness' from his fathers church that once knew him should take it easy, and realize that this stuff happens alot within the churches of america. It seems like more and more the people involved in the church are the ones pointing fingers and judging when its them that are practicing cruelty. i know will and feel a strong desire to speak up for him, and protect him.
thanks everyone for being so friendly...i didnt expect.

thanks!
no, i'm not suggesting killing his parents was an appropriate action and that i encourage it but i understand the amount of rage one feels in this dynamic. i know will personally and see him at least once a week. i know him very well, he is a good person and struggling to heal from all the damage done. i wish he would have spoken up or had someone to help him, someone he could trust when he was growing up.

yeah, he doesnt believe anymore. but i think he figured it out all on his own, without help, a very long time ago.

he didnt know what else to do. they knew he was abused but i dont think they knew to what extent. he had no money and was only 16. Nobody advised him on what else to do and he was so ashamed of the abuse that he didnt speak up.

No wonder Will wouldnt talk to you when you visited him when he first went to jail. His sick well known Jehovah's Witness parents abused him SEVERELY and didnt deserve to live to abuse him or anyone else ANYMORE! You have no right to judge him until you have been in his shoes! If Jehovah loves him and watches him so much then where was Jehovah when he was being brutally sexually abused by his father and mentally fucked over by his mother???!!!! I would LOVE to see you people go through that and not fantasize about killing your own parents.
