James Williams III Amitted The DUI Offense

James Williams III admitted to being drunk and wrecking his car. He was arrested for a misdemeanor for DUI 1st offense.

He was detained at the Rankin County jail and bonded out. Williams was bonded out Saturday morning, which surprised some critics.

In December of 2002 at the time when Williams  was still 17 years old, he killed both James Williams, Jr. and his wife Cynthia Williams by firing them with a .22 rifle in

Williams then tried to dismember the couple in order to fit them inside two Rubbermaid totes.

In 2005, Williams was found guilty of murdering his father and stepmother and was sentenced to more than 60 years without the chance of parole.

However, seven years later, the Supreme Court ruled that obligatory life sentences without the possibility of parole for minor offenders were unconstitutional.

A total of 27 Mississippi House fellows asked the Parole Board to reverse their decision to grant James Williams III, parole, calling it a “public safety issue.”
