Robert Williams, 49, waived his right to a trial on the condition that most of the dozens of counts against him would be dropped.
The court also deemed him a “persistent violent felony offender,” citing past convictions for attempted murder and robbery.
Fabrizio asked him a series of questions ensuring that Williams understood what was happening and agreed to the terms of his plea deal, to which Williams replied with a series of strained responses. At times, Williams’ attorney, Damien Brown, patted him on the back and whispered in his ear. A single friend of the defendant sat in the back of the mostly empty courtroom, quietly watching.
“When I came in, I was thinking: ‘Just kill me. Just kill me,’” Williams said in his taped statement.
