Williams says he is scapegoat in murder case
In a jailhouse interview with US Magazine, 23-year-old free lance cameraman Wayne B. Williams claims authorities have made him a scapegoat. He is charged with murder in the deaths of Jimmy Ray Payne and Nathaniel Cater, two of 28 young black victims investigated by a special task force. No trial date is set. The interview, done by Micki Siegel, runs in the October 13 issue. Sheriff Leroy Stynchcombe denounced the publication, noting the talk occurred without jail officials’ knowledge or approval.
