I'll keep playing devil's advocate here. No matter how gruesome the descriptions of the crime and crime scene are, and the prosecution is banking on that for the emotional appeal, they must tie the defendants to Johnny's and Lisa's dead bodies. It's really disturbing that the DNA on the murder victims belongs to people other than the defendants. What this tells me is, "Someone else killed Johnny and Lisa but we've got these other guys, here, who smoked in the garage". Or, as floated, only one of those guys smoked in the garage, having gotten the cig from his buddy. Does that mean Williams was in the garage, getting the cig from Pettaway, or the other way around? When were they (or one of them) there? The night of the murders or days before? I would not be satisfied, as a juror, to be hearing that it's not the killers on trial for murder but their possible accomplices or lookouts.
