Terry is a man now, but when he killed these two people, he was still a child.
He was uncapable of stopping himself, all he knew was a blue rage.
He didn't just randomly kill people, and he very well could have. He directed his rage to the guilty parties, that led him to accumulate it, in the first place.
He doesn't deserve to die for what he did. He just wanted the rage to stop.
You probably can't imagine how he felt, but I can. That rage is always turned inside, other people never see it, because you never allow them to. Everything about you is hidden when you're a sexually abused child. You trust no one.
You've asked yourself why it happened to you so many times. There's never an answer, there is only, an "if only".
How could anybody else understand, when you yourself can't?
So the rage builds, because it's to much, for a child to emotionally carry by themselves.
If you had to walk a mile in his shoes, you couldn't blame him for what he's done.
But you haven't,...... and you can't imagine,......... which is why, we never tell.
A Pennsylvania man on death row for the murder of his alleged sexual abuser failed to win clemency Monday from the state Board of Pardons.
Terrance "Terry" Williams, 46, is scheduled to be executed on Oct. 3. He is on death row at the State Correctional Institute at Greene in Pennsylvania for killing 56-year-old Amos Norwood with a tire iron in Philadelphia in 1984. Williams was 18 years old at the time of the murder. Defense lawyer Victor J. Abreu has said Williams' crimes were mitigated by the sexual abuse he experienced in his childhood. Norwood was allegedly one of his attackers.
