Wardell Williams was the cousin of Otis Williams in "Law & Murder". In the immediate aftermath of the poisoning of Joe McUsic, Juror Number Seven in his cousin's trial for the murder of Lyla Addison, security camera footage came to light which made Wardell seem a very viable suspect. However, Lanie's autopsy soon rewrote the timeline for the death, and both the cousins were proven innocent in the end.
