  • Tyrone Williams (criminal) is serving a life sentence in an infamous murder case.[1] A legal Jamaican immigrant then living in Schnectady, New York, in 2003 Williams was paid $7,500 to secretly transport over 100 Mexicans into the United States in a trailer tractor. On May 13, he drove the trailer from Harlingen, Texas, to a gas station near Victoria, on his way to Houston. He opened the trailer while buying water for himself in Victoria and discovered the bodies of the seventeen children and adults who had died of heat exhaustion and dehydration in the unventilated truck. He abandoned the trailer, locking the living in with the dead. Two more died after being hospitalized when authorities opened the trailer hours later. At his second trial in December, 2006, Williams was convicted of 58 related counts, twenty of which allowed the death penalty. Thirteen other people were indicted for their roles in the tragedy; ten of them pleaded guilty or were convicted.[2] Although other people in other cases had been convicted under the 1994 smuggling law, Williams' case was the first one in which the Department of Justice, then led by John Ashcroft, sought the death penalty. Prosecutors defied a court order to reveal why Williams had been singled out.[3]
