‘Wire’ creator David Simon seeks mercy for man involved in Michael K. Williams’ death

Simon said Williams’ long-stated opposition to mass incarceration and the drug war convinced him the late actor would want him to seek mercy for defendant Carlos Macci.

The co-creator of HBO’s “The Wire” wants a judge to show compassion to an elderly man involved in the overdose death of Michael K. Williams, one of the show’s stars.

In a letter to Manhattan judge Ronnie Abrams, David Simon, one of Williams’ closest friends, pleaded with her to show mercy to 71-year-old defendant today!
