KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — A plea negotiation conference has been scheduled for Kim Williams — the estranged wife of convicted murderer and former Kaufman County justice of the peace Eric Williams.
The hearing will be held on Tuesday, December 30, 2014, at 9 a.m., at the Kaufman County Courthouse presumably in the 422nd District Court where the case was originally filed.
Williams was indicted, along with her husband, for the 2013 deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife, Cynthia, and his top assistant, Mark Hasse.
Williams was used as one of the final witness in Eric’s trial during his punishment phase on the state’s behalf and detailed, in depth, the months of planning and execution of their revenge plot against the men — McLelland and Hasse — who a year earlier had prosecuted Eric Williams for burglary of a building and theft by a public servant which resulted in the loss of his law license and his seat as a justice of the peace.
The testimony, said Williams, was made in “hopes for a consideration of leniency.”
Eric, after his conviction and death sentence by a Rockwall County jury, was remanded into the custody of the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and was later transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on December 18, 2014.
