Defense Openings Hint at Aiding Abetting Theory in Williams Trial

Defense comments to prospective jurors suggest the state may try to prove Williams guilty of murder by aiding and abetting rather than by committing the act. Attorney Roger Owens said they must show prior or during the offense assistance. Williams likely will testify. another attorney said he may not. Williams is retried in Linn county after a 1969 conviction was voided by the U.S. Supreme Court for denial of counsel. The defense may argue Albert Bowers was guilty, with Bowers’ body exhumed at the defense’s request from a Minnesota cemetery. Jurors are from Cedar Rapids and Marion, with three alternates from Cedar Rapids and Mt. Vernon.
