Appeals court reverses admission of hearsay in Williams case
Davis Hicks testified he sold drugs near Williams residence and heard Stevens and Davis argue with Williams before a gunshot. He said Hill later told him Williams had been killed, a remark used as hearsay. The state Supreme Court reversed the ruling and ordered a new trial without that testimony. Weeks predicted a six month timeline for new proceedings. Davis remains jailed on drug charges. Stevens convicted. Hill’s charges dropped.
