Kenneth Williams Resentenced to Prison After 24 Years on Death Row. The Lehigh County District Attorney says Williams will spend the rest of his life in prison instead. Williams, now 59, A jury convicted Williams, now 59, in 1985 of shooting and robbing Edward Miller, 22,  in 1983. He was sentenced to death. In 2003, a judge upheld the conviction, but granted Williams a retrial for the death penalty. That was upheld last year, and now prosecutors decided to drop pursuit of the death penalty.
