Attorney to appeal denial of new trial for Pierce
Sumter AP The attorney for William Junior Pierce says he will appeal a judge's denial of post conviction relief seeking a new trial for the 1973 murder of Margaret Cuttino daughter of James Cuttino. The defense argued Donald Gaskins' 1977 confession would change the outcome if a new trial were granted. The circuit judge said the confession lacked credibility and critical details and was unsubstantiated and recanted.
