After 25 years on death row for a killing he said he didn’t do — and three years after a federal judge threw out his conviction — James Dennis was brought to a Philadelphia courtroom Thursday to make a harrowing choice: plead no contest to the crime and go home, or gamble on another trial.
He didn’t want to admit to the 1991 shooting of 17-year-old Chedell Williams. A federal judge had already ruled he’d been condemned “for a crime in all probability he did not commit.”
But that didn’t guarantee that another jury wouldn’t find him guilty.
