The good news is Williams will be locked up for the rest of his life.
the sad thing is that this young man will spend some of the best years of his life behind bars, locked away from the free world, unable to enjoy some of the simple things available to those who are not incarcerated. when he is finally able to walk out of those prison gates he will lament “what happened to all that time? where are those years?” then, sadly he will realize, “,,,Therall gone,,”
