"...for these peckerwoods." Quentin Williams rattled by Eddie Lee's defense attorney on cross responded with this statement when Mr. Stallworth presented him with evidence from Melvin Matthews and Williams own interview with a HCSO deputy which confirmed Lee's account and what he has been saying consistently since he was arrested.
Towards the end of the day after Mr. Stallworth had shaken Williams on the stand and had him on the defensive, Mr. Stallworth read a statement which was a conversation between Lee and Williams wearing a wire.
Williams claims he tried to help Lee who he befriended in jail when they were in general population together. "I didn't want to see this innocent kid spend time in jail."
Williams confirmed that Lee told him he had no idea Limmie Curry was going to kill Reid, that he heard "bop bop bop", the shots when Curry killed Reid, who was a father figure to Lee. Williams confirmed that "Eddie was afraid Limmie would kill his sister and his family if he told law enforcement what happened.
Williams asked Lee why he did not run when he heard the gunshots. Lee's response was, "Where would I go, he had a gun."
Williams is African-American, so is Lee's attorney and Lee is biracial. When Williams was talking about Curry threatening Lee's sister who Curry was dating, a family member, I think Lee's dad teared up. He had just walked in moments before into court.
