    Son testifies that Michele Williams tried to frame another woman for husband's murder

    Accused murderer Michele Williams wiped away tears as photos of her husband’s dead body were shown in court during the first day of her Tarrant County trial. Michele, 45, is charged with murder and tampering with evidence in the 2011 shooting death of Greg Williams.

     

    Prosecutors ran through a handful of witnesses after opening statements. Michele’s son, Andrew O’Brien, was stoic as he testified that his mother asked him to frame another woman for Greg’s murder.

     

    Kathy Williams, Greg’s first wife, reportedly was the target of Michele’s plot.

     
     

       Kathy Williams, Greg’s first wife, reportedly was the target of Michele’s plot.

     

     

    Andrew said that Michele asked him and his brother to help clean up the remains of Greg’s body from the couple’s Keller home. At one point, Michele pulled Andrew aside and asked him “to do something for her.”

     

    “She asked me to call some friends and have them frame Kathy,” Andrew said. “I was in shock.”

     

    According to Andrew, Michele gave him specific instructions to carry out, including buying an “extra large sweatshirt” and wearing it while he fired a pistol so that it would have gun power residue on it.

     

    Then, she wanted someone to break into Kathy’s car in an inconspicuous way and plant the sweatshirt inside. Finally, Andrew was supposed to call 911 and tip them off to Kathy’s involvement.

     

    “She was very calm when she asked me to do it,” Andrew said.

     

    Although he never went through with the plot to frame Kathy, Andrew admitted he waited several months before telling the district attorney’s office about his mother’s wishes. “When you are asked that question by your own mother, it is really hard to know what to do,” the 26-year-old said.

     

    After a week with no action from Andrew, Michele told him not to bother. “She told me since I wasn’t getting it taken care of, she was going to figure it out on her own,” he said.

     

    In January 2013, Andrew finally reported his mother’s plot to the authorities.

     

    “At that point, I felt as though Michele was going to put the blame on my brother,” Andrew said, adding that his brother, Lee O’Brien, had recently gotten into an argument with Michele.

     

    “The next day, she asked me if I thought it was possible that Lee was the intruder [that killed Greg]. We had heard so many stories … that first year after Greg died was such a blur.”

     

    Andrew said that Michele’s stories included variations on a home invasion and suicide. In at least one version of events, Michele told Andy that Greg had hit her in the face the night of the murder and given her a black eye.

     

    That’s the same theory prosecution floated in its opening statement. Michele now maintains that she hit herself in the face with a wrench to support the intruder theory.

     

    At one point, Andrew said Michele asked him and Lee to take turns guarding the house because she was worried that someone would try to kill her.

     

    “It was a roller coaster of emotions. Some days she’d be crying hard. Other days, she’d be laughing.”

    SMU and KC Chiefs star Rashee Rice sentenced for Dallas high-speed crash

    DALLAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Thursday, July 17 after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year.

    The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in the March 30, 2024, crash. As part of a plea agreement, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation, prosecutors said.

    The judge will allow Rice, 25, to find a time or times to serve the jail sentence, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office said.

    Prosecutors said he was also required to pay the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, which totaled about $115,000.

    Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made “multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic” and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash on North Central Expressway, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.

    The accident was caught on a dashcam video by motorist Bill Nabors.

    The news release from prosecutors included a statement from Rice that was released by his attorney. Rice said in the statement that he's had “a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole.”

    “I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property,” Rice said in the statement. “I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.”

    Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s vice president of communication, said in a statement, “We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review."

    The Chiefs said Thursday that they did not have a comment.

    Rice was leasing the Lamborghini that police said was speeding along with a Corvette when the crash occurred. Rice's attorney has said that the Corvette belonged to Rice. The driver of the Corvette, who police said also left the scene, was also charged in the crash. The status of that case was not immediately clear on Thursday.

    Rice, a member of the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs team, is from the Dallas area. He played for SMU in Dallas and grew up in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills. Rice was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and has caught nine touchdowns in his two seasons with Kansas City.
