William Giles (Oz)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Giles is a fictional character on HBO's prison drama Oz. Though not considered to be insane or otherwise mentally deficient by the prison system, or prison psychiatrist Sister Peter Marie, he speaks in one word riddles and does not carry on normal conversations. He spends the majority of his time in Oz in solitary confinement due to violent outbursts. He helps Sister Peter Marie find out more about the murder of her husband years earlier by repeating a series of words that she is able to decipher. Later, after murdering a fellow inmate, Giles is sent to death row where he requests death by stoning. This request causes capital punishment to be overturned in the courts. Giles' sentence is commuted to life, though capital punishment is restored soon after.
