Witness who changed story in STL murder trial gets 10 yrs

782

Dominique L. Williams, 21, of the 6400 block of Wells Avenue in Wellston, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter “by recklessness,” receiving stolen property and perjury in St. Louis Circuit Court. This female scumbag changed her story in an August murder trial and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Williams put the wheels in motion on May 12, 2015, of the murder of Markus Jones by stealing a gun from her brother and trying to sell it to her friend, Jones.

The two men accused of meeting with Jones, robbing him and then shot him as he tried to escape were acquitted in an August trial. Williams was expected to testify against them as part of a deal with prosecutors, but told jurors she wasn’t present and didn’t see the shooting.  Total bullshit.

She was charged with perjury after the men’s acquittal for giving one version of the shooting under oath in a deposition and another at trial.

As part of her plea, Williams said that she did not know about plans to rob Jones, and watched “in horror” as he was shot. She also admitted lying while on the stand at the trial.

Williams was sentenced to a total of seven years in prison on the manslaughter and stolen property charges, followed by three years for perjury.
