Bartica massacre convict Mark Royden Williams was yesterday read the death sentence on an additional count of murder.
Williams, called “Smallie,” was last Thursday convicted for eight of the 12 murders committed during the February 17, 2008 massacre.
After the verdicts were announced by the jury foreman, however, the court recorded seven murder convictions, and five manslaughter convictions. The state had, however, advanced that the court’s record was inaccurate, while arguing that the jury had actually convicted Williams for eight counts of murder and four counts of manslaughter.
