Documents: FBI tracked Brianna Williams’ movements in Alabama via cellphone​

News4Jax on Thursday obtained new discovery material in the case of Brianna Williams, the mother accused of abusing her 5-year-old daughter, Taylor.

The new material contains more than 400 pages of FBI investigative reports, documents and subpoenas. It includes several maps that show how Williams’ trips from Jacksonville to Alabama were traced via her cellphone, including to the wooded area where Taylor’s remains were found.

The documents show Williams’ movements were tracked down to the minute.


Williams, according to the documents, called her mother on Oct. 31. Her mother told detectives Williams called her saying that if Williams’ captain called her, to tell him that she was at her mother’s apartment picking up Taylor, even though Taylor was not at the apartment that day.

The records show Williams attended 13 speech pathology lessons through April 17, 2019. Her doctor told an NCIS detective that Taylor and her mother never showed up to her appointment on April 24.

Williams was then discharged from care after missing two appointments. The doctor told the detective that she never saw any signs that Taylor could have been abused or neglected.

A screenshot of an Amazon search for a shower curtain is included in the evidence.

Investigators say a shower curtain and plastic trash bag were found along with Taylor’s remains.

The have had two and one half years... Granted there has been Covid but depositions are not taken in court...

 

[Mel70]

She crossed state lines making it a federal offense. She should get death as far as I am concerned. That child had always been abused and neglected. They could tell that from her autopsy.

Yep, she's a nasty one. Despite a person or two trying to paint her as this wasn't the woman "I knew"...

Sentencing dates set for Brianna Williams, Jacksonville mom who pleaded guilty to murder of daughter

A judge set the sentencing dates for a Jacksonville woman who pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder in 2019 death of her 5-year-old daughter.

www.actionnewsjax.com

Sentencing dates set for Brianna Williams, Jacksonville mom who pleaded guilty to murder of daughter​

Sentencing for Brianna Williams is scheduled to happen on Sept. 15 and 16.

Prosecutors told the judge they need two full days for sentencing because the state has plans to highlight many facts in the case for the court to consider, as well as a presentation.

Williams’ guilty plea means she faces up to life in state prison.


In court on Wednesday, Williams wore a gray detention uniform. During her previous hearings, she was seen wearing an orange detention uniform.

Action News Jax Law and Safety Expert Dale Carson said the change in uniform color indicates she’s now likely in general population and no longer being monitored.

A 'tragedy all around' leads judge to sentence Brianna Williams to life term for daughter's death

She neglected and basically starved her 5-year-old daughter Taylor Rose Williams to death, then buried her in Alabama and reported her missing.

A 'tragedy all around' leads judge to sentence Brianna Williams to life term for daughter's death​

Brianna Shontae Williams had a duty to care for her daughter Taylor, the judge told her, but she failed to do so as the 5-year-old just wasted away in Jacksonville. Then she secretly stowed the child's body in the trunk of her vehicle, buried her in a crude Alabama grave and falsely reported her disappearance.

Calling it "a tragedy all around," Circuit Court Judge Kevin Blazs sentenced Williams to life in prison Tuesday.


"The victim was not valued from the time of conception by either her father or mother," the judge said. "Her mother suffered from an eating disorder. The father complained that the victim was not being properly fed. The defendant then removed the victim from child care about four months prior to the victim's death. Taylor remained home alone and unprovided for throughout that time period."


Then Williams quietly told the judge she was too "scared, nervous" to read her final statement to him on Friday, so a member of the Public Defender's Office did. In it, Williams said she knows what she did was wrong, admitting that she "lied and lied some more" about what happened.

"I failed as a mother, a protector and as a decent human being," the statement read. "... and I didn't take advantage of any timely opportunity to right my wrongs. I apologize to everyone affected by this tragedy. I am punished every day since losing my baby."

I notice she was given credit for time served. I'm guessing there will come a point in the future when she can apply for parole?

With the way things are going in my state, just the fact she's spending any time in prison at all is a plus.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah we sure can't count on a life sentence meaning life any longer. We should demand they change the wording. Maybe call it a pseudo life sentence! Maddens me in many cases.
