DNA tests "inconclusive"

DNA results in the case of convicted Atlanta Child Killer Wayne Williams are inconclusive according to Williams’ lawyer. Williams has been in prison for more than 20 years accused of killing young men and boys in Atlanta in the 1970’s and 80’s. A judge recently allowed DNA tests on dog hairs found on some of the victims to compare with hairs from Williams’ dog. Williams’ lawyer says the results don’t exclude Williams’ dog as a source of the animal hairs. But he says the tests don’t prove the hairs came from Williams’ dog. Williams’ lawyer says he believes other testing being done by the clear Williams.
