Crime
The evidence showed that on the
afternoon of October 7, 1990, Demarcus Sears and Phillip Williams
were walking through Atlanta because their car had broken down.
Wanting to return home to Ohio, where they lived, they walked to a
Waffle House in Smyrna and tried to borrow money from several patrons
in the restaurant. They told the patrons that their car had
broken down and they needed money to go to Cincinnati. Sears
carried a black briefcase that contained brass knuckles, knives and a
set of old handcuffs that was missing a key. He opened the
briefcase in the restaurant and tried to sell some of the items to a
customer. After receiving directions and a couple of dollars for
bus fare, Sears and Williams walked to a nearby Kroger food store.
A police officer observed them loitering near the Kroger parking lot
and briefly spoke with them before he left in response to a radio
call. Subsequently, they decided to steal a car so they could
drive back to Cincinnati.
They spotted the victim, Gloria Wilbur, when she parked her 1985 Buick and entered the Kroger. Around 8:00 p.m., Ms. Wilbur returned to her car and placed her groceries in the trunk. Sears approached her, struck her with the brass knuckles and forced her into the car. Williams then got behind the wheel and they drove north on I-75. Sears told Ms. Wilbur to keep quiet, pulled her into the back seat, and handcuffed her with her hands behind her back. When they stopped for gas and hamburgers, Sears wedged Ms. Wilbur down between the seats and covered her with book bags to prevent discovery. While He was driving through Tennessee, he raped her.
They crossed the border into Kentucky around 1:00 a.m. and stopped the car. Despite her pleas to remain in the car, Sears took the victim into the bushes along I-75 and stabbed her to death. Ms. Wilbur's body was found, still handcuffed, almost a week later. Her abandoned Buick was discovered in a Cincinnati suburb. Bloodstains in the car matched the victim and pubic hair taken from the back seat matched Sears.
