[edit] Information about criminal

Should a disambig page have this much information about somebody? Ordinarily I would move it to an article about the subject, but I'm not even sure if the subject is notable enough to justify an article. What do other editors think? janejellyroll 23:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

This content should be in an article. An article should cover the entire 2003 incident in which 19 undocumented immigrants perished in an enormous immigrant smuggling operation. This incident is significant with regard to illegal immigration, the death penalty, and questions of racial inequities in the US justice system. Williams was the only black defendant in the case and the only defendant for whom prosecutors sought the death penalty, despite the fact that his only role in the massive smuggling operation was as a one-time hired driver. He was initially sentenced to death, but following a second trial, Williams was sentenced to life in prison. Pdewalt 02:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
