She was sentenced alongside Candace Tai Townsel, who was also involved in the crime (sportsillustrated.com).
Williams was found guilty of facilitating her accomplice’s robbery of the elderly victim while accompanying her to the bathroom. The woman’s purse was subsequently stolen, and a physical altercation ensued, causing her to fall and sustain fatal injuries (sportsillustrated.com).
Leonard has not made a public comment on his sister’s sentencing. Williams’s sentencing comes as Leonard and his Clippers team are set to begin postseason play against the Dallas Mavericks (cbssports.com).
The sentencing of Williams to life in prison without the possibility of parole will serve as a permanent reminder of the tragic events of the 2019 murder (ktla.com).
