this article about Judge Andrew Howorth's denial of a new trial for former Ole Miss student David Jackson Williams, who in October 2007 was found guilty of the murder of fellow student Demetria Bracey and sentenced to life in prison.  The new trial was requested by appellate counsel for Mr. Williams, David Hill, who plans to appeal the Court's decision to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
