Prosecutor requests guardian for Megan Williams:
Prosecutors in the West Virginia torture case have requested that a legal guardian be appointed to the victim Megan Williams.
Citing records of special education classes, Logan County Prosecutor Brian Abraham requested a guardian ad litem for 20-year-old Megan Williams on Wednesday.
“She may not be competent and realize what is going on,” Abraham told The Logan Banner.
Carmen Williams, Megan’s adoptive mother, has said that her daughter is “slow.”
Abraham also is wary of further media attention, voicing objection to Carmen Williams’ decision to speak to the media from the hospital soon after her daughter’s Sept. 8 rescue. The family also went against his advice and participated in a hate crimes awareness march in Charleston on Nov. 3.
I haven’t been concerning myself over issues of race in this case because to me I just see six criminals who tortured a victim. However, if you have been following the race issues in this case, like Belch has, you’ll know that Megan Williams’ mother has not been acting in Megan’s best interest, at least in my opinion.
When you go against the wishes of the prosecutor like she has you have a great chance of tainting the jury pool in either direction.
