Child Killer Faces Lethal Injection
14 Aug
Summary
- Jeremy Williams' execution for child murder is imminent.
- Victim's family and past abuse survivor to attend.
- Williams waived all appeals, accepting consequences.
Jeremy Williams is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection within approximately 24 hours for the brutal murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland in December 2021. Williams has chosen to expedite his execution by waiving all appeals.
Investigators discovered Williams had abused another girl 20 years prior when he confessed to the murder of Holland. This past victim, now a young woman, has come forward and is scheduled to attend Williams' execution. Lieutenant Brad Evans described the experience of connecting with her as deeply humbling.
District Attorney Rick Chancey and Sheriff Heath Taylor acknowledged the immense suffering Williams inflicted upon multiple young girls. Chancey noted that Williams' confession and decision to waive appeals likely stemmed from the cumulative weight of his past crimes, stating he "had no choice but to confess and say, I'll take my medicine."
