  • Guardian sought for Megan Williams

    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.

  • Was Megan Williams given a chance to leave?

    And should it matter?

    Torture suspect’s sister says victim given chance to leave:

    Christie Messer, the sister of torture suspect George Messer, says that Megan Williams was given the chance to leave but didn’t take it.

    Christie Messer said she let Williams out of the bedroom. She gave her the keys to her car and told her to go to the car, but Williams refused to leave, she said.

    “She said, ‘I don’t want to go. I love Bobby [Brewster].’

    I’ve read reports that said that Megan Williams had a learning disability which may have clouded her judgment but not only that how many times have people done stupid things in the name of love. Anyway, none of that means that she was responsible for her own torture. The Clampetts on crack were still the ones who cut her up, beat her, and molested her and still deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

  • Torture victim held captive for a month

    Police Say Williams Abused for More Than a Month:

    Police are now stating that Megan Williams was held captive for a month, not a week, by the Deliverance Reject Family from West Virginia.

    Megan Williams went into the trailer home in Logan County where police say she was raped, beaten and tortured on Aug. 2, according to court testimony heard on Tuesday. Bobby Ray Brewster, 24, one of the six suspects in the case, got out of jail on Aug. 2 on charges he hit and threatened Williams, according to testimony from a Logan County sheriff’s deputy.

    So the first thing Cletus does is when he gets out of lock-up is to kidnap somebody.

    New charges have been filed as well…

    Besides Brewster, the others charged include his mother, 49-year-old Frankie Lee Brewster. Also on Tuesday, the original charges against suspect Frankie Brewster were amended to include first degree sexual assault, giving false information during the commission of a felony, kidnapping and three counts of misdemeanor battery.

    More details of the abuse…

    During the hearing, prosecuting attorneys presented a fly swatter, a knife and a wooden stick. Lawyers told the court the suspects used the implements to beat Williams. Each impliment had red and brown stains, but they will all be tested to determined what the material is. Deputies also testified that Williams went willingly to the home, but the suspects would later refuse to let her leave.

    And more of the family’s stellar record…

    The suspects had lengthy criminal records In 1994, Frankie Brewster was indicted on first degree murder charges, but pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of an 84-year old woman. In March of this year, her son Bobby Brewster, was charged with brandishing a deadly weapon. Last year he was charged with battery on a police officer. Combs’ criminal history includes a malicious wounding charge in 2006. Messer has several domestic violence charges, including second offense domestic assault and burglary. Karen Burton and her daughter Alisha have also been arrested on numerous occasions. Karen Burton has been charged with assault on a police officer. Her daughter was charged with domestic assault in May.

    It’s amazing that this family of scumbags were even out on the streets.

  • WV Torture follow up

    A ton of news has come out about the kidnapping and torturing of Megan Williams. I’m going to bring you all the “highlights” that I have.

    Brewster relative says Frankie and Bobby have had a hard life:

    I was wondering how long it would take for this one to come out. Like it could possibly excuse what these monsters did.

    Carrie Brewster confirmed that when he was 14, Bobby Brewster was accused of fatally shooting his father, Bisha Tomblin, in 1998. Other than that, the grandmother didn’t want to talk about her grandson’s or daughter’s criminal pasts.

    Boo-freakin’ Hoo. To me, that just means that Bobby Brewster should have been locked up a long time ago.

    Magistrate says torture suspect revealed plans to kill victim:

    Apparently, the Clampetts on Crack were planning on killing Megan Williams.

    One of the six defendants charged in the weeklong torture of a Charleston woman allegedly told a magistrate the group planned to take the woman to an area lake and kill her.

    Logan County Magistrate Leonard Codispoti says 49-year-old Frankie Brewster blurted out the planned killing during her arraignment this weekend.

    Not the sharpest tools in the shed are they?

    W.Va. Victim Knew Torture Suspect:

    Megan Williams knew at least one of her attackers…

    One of the six suspects arrested in the case, Bobby Brewster, had a previous relationship with the victim, Logan County Prosecutor Brian Abraham told The Associated Press. He said Brewster had been charged in July with domestic battery and assault after a domestic dispute involving the same woman.

    “She obviously had some sort of social relationship,” Abraham said. “That is based on the fact that she was present at his residence on a prior date.”

    I don’t care if they were knockin’ boots. I don’t care that Ms. Williams may not have been willing to get out of an abusive relationship. There is nothing you can say to me that is going to make disparage the victim. What was done to her was not even in the realm of humanity. It was more like being attacked by a pack of wild mangy filthy dogs.

    No Hate Crime Charges in Torture Case:

    Now before everyone gets their panties in a wad it’s not because authorities believe this wasn’t a hate crime. However, the kidnapping and sexual assault charges carry stiffer sentences. While the hate crime statute only carries a max sentence of 10 years the sexual assault statute carries a max of 35 years and the kidnapping statute carries a max of life. Personally, I think these rejects from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre should get death but WV does not have the death penalty.

    Locals: Torture Suspects Were Trouble:

    Surprise surprise. The neighbors weren’t too fond of the white trash De Sade family.

    Charlotte and Roy Williams tried to avoid their neighbors, a rowdy bunch who blared music for days on end. But the noise may have been the least of their offenses.

    “If I knowed that was happening up there, I would have gone up there myself to try and help that girl,” said Roy Williams, who is not related to Megan Williams.

    Police tape remained at the scene in Big Creek, and empty beer cans filled a rusting shopping cart next to the mobile home. An empty TV dinner tray collected rainwater near the front door.

    Like many in Big Creek, Roy Williams, 61, and his wife, Charlotte, 49, avoided the property.

    “We know everyone over here in this area – except them,” Charlotte Williams said. “We didn’t want to know them.”

    Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six.

    Frankie Brewster was charged in 1994 with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to lesser charges of manslaughter and wanton endangerment. She was released from prison in 2000 after serving five years in the death of an 84-year-old woman, court records show.

    Bobby Brewster was accused in March of attacking his mother with a machete, according to court records. The outcome of those charges domestic assault, brandishing a deadly weapon and obstructing an officer – was not immediately clear.

    He also faces domestic battery and assault charges after a dispute involving Megan Williams in July. A court date has not yet been set.

    The Brewsters were constantly fighting, drinking and disrupting the otherwise quiet hollow in southern West Virginia, Roy and Charlotte Williams said.

    “Sometimes we’d hear music playing really loud,” Charlotte Williams said. “We could tell you what the words to the song was, it was so clear. It would go for three or four days, 24 hours a day sometimes.”

    Quite literally the neighbors from hell. I hope they go back there soon.
