Caregiver Found Not Guilty in Stabbing Death of Atlanta Man
Janet Williams was accused in October 2024 of the stabbing death of Chun-ki Kim, a 90-year-old man. Kim was found with 54 stab wounds in his apartment at the Marian Road Highrise, which is managed by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Williams, who had been hired as a caregiver, was previously tasked with protecting residents in the Buckhead senior housing complex where Kim lived. In a recent trial, Williams was found not guilty. The case raised questions about the adequacy of security measures in place at the facility, especially given the nature of the crime. Evidence presented included witness testimonies and forensic analysis that aimed to establish a timeline of events. The trial highlighted the challenges faced in determining culpability in cases involving caregivers and vulnerable individuals. Community members expressed concerns about safety and the need for better protective measures in senior housing environments. The outcome of the trial has left many questioning the effectiveness of the justice system in handling such sensitive cases.
