I did more checking and found the guy this prosecutor replaced was none other than Fred Wade, of Jack Ruby and Roe vs Wade fame

Check around some more. The Republican that Watkins replaced wasn't named Wade. And the prosecutor in Roe v. Wade and of Jack Ruby wasn't named Fred Wade.

So, now that you've established that you know nothing about the situation, do you have anything more to add?

Sure. It was Henry Wade, who retired in 1986, that wrongly convicted this guy. So you are right, he did not replace him directly, but he was the prosecutor when this guy was wrongly convicted, and was overzealous in many prosecutions, some that he admitted to. Obviously, he did not admit to this one since he is now dead.
