ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A new trial for Roger Wiggins, accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend Tracey Henton-Williams, began this week. Henton-Williams was stabbed in a moving car and thrown out along Buffalo Road in June 2018. She later died in the hospital. Wiggins initially pleaded guilty to the murder, but the case was appealed to the state Supreme Court last year. The court found the search warrant used to obtain evidence from Wiggins’ cell phone was too vague.
