Justice Finally Served
I read an article, Man convicted in two murders 19 years ago, that was about a man who killed two women and after nineteen years was finally put into jail. The man, Billy Reid, killed Lanell Williams and Lisa Kelly in 1989. There was never enough evidence to prove that Billy Reid killed these two women and the lack of technology didn’t help either. But after the case reopened this year the advancement of technology helped to solve these murders. They found semen on a belt and extension cord that was used to strangle Lisa Kelly and the semen was traced back to Billy Reid. The advancement in technology helped prosecute Billy Reid because they can now read generic blueprints and traced the semen on Billy Reid back to him. I think it is great that they finally tried this man for the murdering of these two women and now they can rest in peace. I think that the advancement in technology finally convicted the man and he got what he deserved. Hopefully now with this technology they can reopen cold cases and serve justice to those who got away with crimes.
