FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Nearly 18 months after she was arrested for stabbing a man to death, an Atlanta woman is walking free.

In September 2024, Chun-ki Kim, 90, was found stabbed 54 times at the Marian Road Highrise on Sidney Marcus Blvd. He died at his home.

A few weeks later, Janet Williams, then 65, was arrested and charged with killing him.
