April 15, 2024 - Alabama. Jeremy Williams, 40, Black, sentenced to death.
Russell County Circuit Court Judge David Johnson handed down four death sentences against Jeremy Williams, who murdered, raped and brutalized 5-year-old Kamarie Holland in 2021
Williams was sentenced to death for capital murder of a child less than 14 years old, kidnapping, rape and sodomy. He was also sentenced to life for knowingly recording the acts of rape and sodomy, and he received 10 years for obstruction of a corpse.
Williams was involved in a sexual relationship with the little girl's mother, according to AL.com. When he tired of her, he asked for Kamarie. The girl's mother, Kristy Marie Siple, asked for $2,500 and Williams countered with $1,300. However, he never paid Siple the money.
Williams recorded the abuse of the child, including forcing her to perform oral sex and smoke methamphetamine with him. Williams reportedly had sex with the girl before and after her death.
Williams confessed to killing Holland as well as his 1-month-old daughter in Alaska in 2005 during a 5-hour interview with the Russell County Sheriff's Office.
He pled guilty to capital murder charges on March 13, 2024. A jury returned a guilty verdict on all counts on Friday.
Kristy Siple initially entered a not-guilty plea on all charges. However, after the state dropped the murder charges, Siple’s attorney filed an official guilty plea for first-degree human trafficking. Circuit Judge David Johnson scheduled her trial to begin on Feb. 26, 2024. On March 13, Siple entered a guilty plea to human sex trafficking - where she could face up to 20 years in prison. She must also register as a sex offender, and testify against Williams. According to courtroom documents, in a separate case, she is facing chemical endangerment charges.
In a separate sexual assault case involving a 6-year-old child, Williams was sentenced to life in prison without parole and 20 years in prison on two other charges.
