Amazing all the *advertiser censored* covering the military does.

 

[kbl8201]

like i said about the hennis case.......the army has it's own set of rules and does what it wants.

 

[passionflower]

It's so dangerous just to be a child anymore...............
This is a nation wide concern!!!!
Politicians start getting outraged!

This case appears to still be languishing in the courts. Delilah Sun Williams is supposed to make a plea deal for 20 years, but that will not be completed until after she testifies against her husband. At this time, they are both being held in federal custody at Honolulu FDC with Projected Release Dates of Unknown. I see no evidence that Naeem William's trial has taken place yet.

god this sounds so much like the ethan stacy case in missing persons.

totally disgusted

 

[Donjeta]

What's the hold-up with the trial? A few months more and they'll have been waiting for longer than this girl had to live.

 

[Vegas Bride]

Horrible story, that poor little girl! And her mother still waiting to see justice done, my heart goes out to her!

Mother granted right to sue U.S. Army over claims they failed to prevent her daughter, 5, being beaten to death

Also, in June 2005 military police failed to notify social workers Talia was found 'naked and mute, standing near faeces on the floor' with marks covering her body and scratches on her face.
Three weeks later Talia died from blunt force trauma to her head.

Trial opening in girl's 'horrific' death
The first capital punishment case in the state comes nine years after the child's fatal beating

Honolulu Star-Advertiser

The first death penalty case to go in front of a jury in Hawaii starts with opening statements Tuesday.

Former Schofield Barracks soldier Naeem J. Williams is standing trial in U.S. District Court on a charge of capital murder for the July 2005 beating death of his 5-year-old daughter, Talia Emoni Williams.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner said Talia died as a result of head trauma due to battered-child syndrome.

Under Hawaii law, there is no capital punishment, which was abolished by the territorial Legislature in 1957.

But Williams, 34, if convicted, would face execution under federal law. The indictment charges him with killing a child through abuse or as part of a "pattern and practice of assault and torture."[modsnip]

Summer Kaopuiki testified that she was present when the doctor
examined Talia and thought the doctor did not take the examination
seriously. She said the doctor told her that because Talia is mentally
retarded, she could be clumsy.
