Death Row Inmate Akeem Aki-Khuam Takes Plea for Life

Akeem Aki-Khuam, formerly Edward Earl Williams, plead guilty to three counts of murder in exchange for life in prison. Khuam was convicted in 1993 for the murder of Michael Richardson, Debra Ann Rice, and Robert Hollins, with three accomplices, all of whom have plead guilty and are serving life sentences.

Khuam's death sentence was overturned in 2002 U.S. District Court Ruling, but prosecutors have been in the process of retrying the case. Khuam now awaits his sentencing which is scheduled for May 7-9, initially the starting date set for his now terminated retrial.
