RSS Feed The third inmate to be executed on August 13th will be Jeremy Williams who was convicted of the 2021 rape and murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland. William’s lethal injection will be Alabama’s first execution of the year and it’s scheduled to take place at 6pm CT. The evidence against Williams is disturbing and irrefutable; he filmed the entire assault and ultimate death of this little girl and as hard as it is to believe, authorities say her own mother was complicit and is serving a 20 year sentence for human sex trafficking. Williams put up no defense and ordered his attorneys not to appeal, so his name was moved to the front of the execution line.

Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, August twelfth, the day before an extraordinary day in America when three men will be executed on the same day, one of them in Alabama, and it is one of the shortest stays on death row that you will ever hear about. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Roes. This is the third one we're going to see of the day on Thursday. Again, if no courts or governors step in, Rohase, I struggled this morning putting this story together. This is awful. Yes, this is one of like. This is one if anybody wants to hoot and holler and yell about Priam, this is the guy you would say that about.
00:00:44
Speaker 2: I agree. I actually look, we cover and we have been covering executions for the past couple of years pretty extensively, and I've been a crime reporter. You've covered crime. This one is exceptionally evil and difficult to process because yes, it does involve a child, a five year old girl, and there is no question about his guilt or innocence.
00:01:12
Speaker 1: No one's making an argument, nobody is Robes. There are still, of course, and you will have just death penalty opponents who will always speak up about the dignity of human life and that this is not something we should do. And this is barbaric, Robes. This is one of the worst crimes anybody will ever hear about, not just because of his role in it, but this little girl was failed on so many levels Robes that it's incomprehensible. But this, the man we're talking about right now, is Jeremy Williams in Alabama. He is expected or scheduled to die at six o'clock Central time in Alabama at the Holman Correctional Facility and at More, Alabama. This will be their first robes of the year, the first execution of the year there in Alabama. This guy, ropes, it's almost unheard of you hear about Wait a minute, it's twenty twenty six. He's being executed for crime in twenty twenty one. But Robes, he was only convicted in twenty twenty.
00:02:15
Speaker 2: Four, correct, And he is the reason why his execution has been expedited and will explain all of that. No, he has removed all obstacles from his execution, So this one is almost certainly going through, with the exception of some medical issue or some technical problem. Yeah, no one's stopping this execution, not even Jeremy Williams, not his attorneys. He's instructed his attorneys to stand down, and that's why there has been such swift justice in this case. But Jeremy Williams was convicted of the rape and murder of five year old Camery Holland. And the worst part about all of this is that her mom's story is unbelievable, is complicit in at least part of this, and her own mother is behind bars right now serving time.
00:03:15
Speaker 1: This is an unbelievable story. Robes. This is as disgusting as it gets. I don't know if you noticed this morning, I was embarrassed. I see her across from you. This table is two free across tops, and we sit here in the morning as we work and Robes. I don't know if you've seen this little girl's picture. I got up several times. I was embarrassed. I could not stop crying doing this story, putting the story together, and part of it has to do with her picture. And I think when you see this little girl, Kamari Holland, you will understand maybe why it struck me, or why it bothered me so much. In what I see in her when I see her, and then to think robe she's five, you can that it's to hear what happened to her?
00:04:00
Speaker 2: Atrocious she's she's a stunning little girl, and she looks a little bit like Sabine without a doubt. She's got these beautiful curls, this gorgeous smile, I mean seriously, like a smile that could launch a thousand ships. She she could be a model, a gap model, you name it. She is just a vision of beauty. And I do feel so incredibly disturbed by that because I would imagine it was her beauty that in many ways attracted this monster.
00:04:34
Speaker 1: Toobody attracted to it. That's crazy. I know what you're saying. That is just this is the sickest thing. And you folks, you'll understand what we're talking about if you look up her picture, Kamari Holland k A m a r i E is the first name, k A m A r I I said.
00:04:51
Speaker 2: Her name Kamari Holland makes the most sense.
00:04:54
Speaker 1: Well if you just look just look that up and just look her up. And the difficulty was seeing that face as you describe now what happened to her? Right This is December twelfth of twenty twenty one. A mom called police report that she woke up and her five year old was gone from the bed. Police get involved, little, I mean, all hands on deck kind of a situation. Every officer responded, we got a five year old that's missing. In the middle of the night. Everybody goes out looking. They find the girl's body dumped near this abandoned home. So they hadn't pieced the whole story together yet. But what had happened Robes is that Jeremy Williams had picked Kamari up from the home.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: Did he didn't mature snatch her? Picked her up because apparently her own mother agreed to let him rape her daughter for twenty five hundred dollars. That was the agreement that was made between this monster of a man and frankly, this monster of a mom. It is appalling and horrific, And according to the evidence, Williams then forced this sweet baby to smoke meth. I don't know how he did that, but he did. Then he raped her, and he filmed himself raping her. He strangled her, then he sexually abused the corpse. I mean, it is as awful as possibly.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: You want.
00:06:41
Speaker 2: That is all about drugs. When people that is how people are to get that next hit. That they would literally sell their child to a monster.
00:06:52
Speaker 1: The police, they tell the guys who found the police officer, I think it was a woman and a man. But they were getting tips about some property or something this family, this guy had come up as a possible suspect and a house that they had owned, this abandoned home. And robe they said, like cops were everywhere running everything down and they thought, you know what, let's just go by. I know no harm in doing so. And robes they described finding her and they couldn't believe what they found in that she was almost propped up against the wall. They thought it was a doll, like a rag doll that had been discarded.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
00:07:30
Speaker 1: And just the mutilation of this girl, this five year old girl. So this is one rob. I'm not a death penalty proponent.
00:07:37
Speaker 2: At all, but if anyone deserves the death you want, it's this man and frankly the mom. Because the mom her name is Christy Sipel. She was charged with human sex trafficking. She's serving a twenty year prison sentence. But my god, I think most people just hearing what we described, would be perfectly fine with her serving the rest of her life behind bars.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: You know what, This wasn't supposed to be a part of the conversation. But who is most responsible? Is there a bigger monster? Does it even matter who the bigger monster is? Robes? But he wouldn't he wouldn't be on death row if she wasn't involved. Agreed, right, she Robes. We've been doing stories recently about familicide, guys killing the whole families and Robes. How can you hand your kid over knowing what this man is about to do to your five You have your whole beauty. You have to be that.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: I guess that just speaks to the power of addiction. And I'm not trying to in any way explain away, but that is so unimaginable to nearly every single parent out there that that is the only possible. And I hate to even use the word explanation. But as to the why, as horrific as it is, and look the fast execution, Honestly, this is the only thing maybe this guy has done right in his life. He did not put up a defense at his trial. He ordered his attorneys not to appeal this death sentence. He got one automatic appeal, because that's just what we do here in this country.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: What happens. Whether you like it or not, you get one.
00:09:19
Speaker 2: But because of his choice, his name got moved literally to the front of the execution line. And now he is going to actually die on a very historic day in this country where there will be yes, three executions in three states on one day.
00:09:39
Speaker 1: When you first told me about this, you said you asked me to guess the states, and I was wrong on all three because I went to the usual suspects.
00:09:45
Speaker 2: Correct, Florida, Texas, South Carolina.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, then none of them. This happens to be Oklahoma, at Tennessee, and Alabama on this particular day. Now, this has happened more recently than I expected. Well help me here, Robes, past decade plus. It hasn't been in a long long time, but this has happened that we've had three executions in one day in fairly recent history, three different states. We just had Florida, right, Robes, they had a double execution on the same day and that was the first time in sixty years that state had done something like that.
00:10:20
Speaker 2: But this is the first time three executions occur on the same day in the US, and the last time it happened was January seventh, twenty ten, so it's been sixteen years. And that's when inmates were put to death in Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas all on the same day. So yes, this is rare. It doesn't happen very often, but it is supposed to occur on Thursday, August thirteenth.
00:10:45
Speaker 1: Okay, so where this guy is being executed. Here we are robes in what in Alabama? There were some arguments robes here about, and there are some you know, some death penalty opponents will still hoot and holler and say that they want this to be stopped, but there are other reasons people are suggesting this one should be stopped as well. Stay here, we'll explain.
00:11:22
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. We are talking about one of three executions set for August thirteenth in this country, and we're going to go to Alabama with Jeremy Williams. And yes, you've been hearing about the unthinkable, unimaginable crime. And yeah, the worst thing you can think would possibly could possibly happen to a five year old hand it over to this monster by her own mother, and now this man, yes he has Jeremy Williams.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: He has.
00:11:55
Speaker 2: Decided to say no worries, no appeals, not trying to say I'm not guilty. He has expedited his own execution and so he will die by lethal injection at six pm Central time in Alabama.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know what he's going to say. Well, he have final words, does he have something to say? Does it?
00:12:22
Speaker 2: Does anyone want to hear it? I actually in this case, I don't want to hear from him.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: I don't remorse.
00:12:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care if he feels bad. I just want him to stop talking and go away.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: The only thing they've ever attributed to him close to remorse is saying I'm sick, like no explanation, know nothing, He's just I'm sick. That's the best that's been reported about what has happened to him, but there have been He's the first execution, well at this point, Robes, he's planned, he's scheduled now to be the first execution of the year, but there are two others that were also scheduled to be the first executions of the year. In Robes. This does not happen a lot that a planned executcution does not go through. You remember these, Yeah, in particular, it was surprising.
00:13:07
Speaker 2: Charles sonny Burton. He's seventy five years old. He was supposed to be executed on March twelfth of this year, but two days before he was set to die by nitrogen gas, the governor there, Governor k Ivy, commuted his death sentence to life without the possibility of parole. And that was a little shocking to a lot of folks because they weren't expecting this necessarily from her. But he was not the person who pulled the trigger, and the person who did pull the trigger got a life sentence. Kind of makes sense, and so look, it does make sense, but we don't often see governor's step in even when it does make sense. But that happened, and so his death sentence was commuted, and again he was expected to be executed back in March.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: Then they had Jeffery Lee who was supposed to be executed in June. There was some court fighting. Court stepped in essentially and stopped that execution. So they had two others planned didn't go through this year again, so this is going to be the first for Alabama on. As we sit before triple execution Day, there have been nineteen executions in twenty twenty six in this country. Wow, Florida just wow leading the way. Twelve in Florida so far. The next closed the state is Texas with four, Oklahoma with two, Arizona with one. Rogues were so used, didn't we just come up as kids knowing, oh yeah, Texas is executing somebody every two days.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Texas has that reputation, but Florida has now surpassed them, at least recently. And so yes, this would bring the execution count once Thursday is over. If they all go through as scheduled, twenty twenty one and twenty two correct for the country this year.
00:14:51
Speaker 1: That's funny. You're always not sure about your math, you know, Yeah, three right, yes, three yes? So yeah, Jeriousey in Oklahoma, the the other two for the day, if they all go through, and again no one has said. I think they still except for this one in Alabama. The other two are still hoping the Supreme Court could say something, and they could. But if everything goes through, what a day this is going to be?
00:15:14
Speaker 2: It certainly is, and I think it's rare that we can say we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jeremy Williams will be executed in Alabama for his crime. And with that everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I'm Amy Roback alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, folks.
