Prosecutors to Face Off Over Innocence Claim by Prisoner on Death Row

Wesley Bell, the local prosecutor, supports Williams's exoneration efforts with a detailed motion, while Attorney General Andrew Bailey seeks to block the hearing altogether.
Tricia Rojo Bushnell criticizes AG Bailey's opposition to the hearing, stating it distracts from justice and unnecessarily uses taxpayer resources to prevent a trial.
Mr. Bailey's administration, known for opposing wrongful convictions, seems at odds with Bell's push for justice, highlighting the political tensions around the case.
