(FeaturedHeadlines.com) A man who agreed to pay a mother to abuse her five-year-old daughter, ultimately killing the child, faces execution for the heinous crime. The pedophilic killer, Jeremy Williams, was sentenced to death on April 15, after a jury found him guilty of crimes including murder, sexual abuse of a child, and human trafficking.
Williams agreed to pay Kristen Siple to abuse her daughter, Kamarie Holland, in December 2021. Siple pleaded guilty to human trafficking for her involvement in her daughter’s death, for which she faces up to 20 years in prison.
Siple maintained a relationship with Williams, who eventually requested to abuse her daughter. Siple asked for $2,500 to facilitate the act, but eventually agreed to $1,300; Williams never ended up paying Siple the money.
Williams, 39, is a “type of evil” that society does not need walking around, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor reportedly said. Williams’ former wife characterized him as a “soulless” man.
Williams was previously acquitted of putting a three-year-old boy in boiling water. Williams was also a suspect in the murder of a one-year-old Alabama boy.
On Christmas night 2021, Williams confessed to his numerous crimes, including the murder of Holland, as well as the murder of his one-month-old daughter in 2005. Williams told law enforcement officers that he confessed in order to “get right with God” before facing death.
Although Williams pleaded guilty to murdering Holland, Alabama law requires a jury to find a suspect guilty in death penalty cases. The Russell County jury found Williams guilty after a three-day trial, during which jurors watched body-camera footage of police finding the five-year-old’s body, as well as videos of Williams abusing her.
Jury forewoman Stacy Mote reportedly said that the case was incredibly difficult to endure. Mote said that the jurors were proud of victims and witnesses who spoke out against Williams, noting that it must have been an “excruciatingly painful” experience for them.
The state will now proceed with attempting to execute Williams, who will be afforded a more comfortable death than his victims, per the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution.
