People v. Williams CA4/1

STATEMENT OF FACTS

At about 8:00 p.m. on September 16, 2013 the victim, Kathryn Cobb, and her

sister Britney were at the home of Williams's father Morgan Williams.2 At some point

the victim went into the kitchen. There she encountered Williams, who rushed at her,

stabbed her in the left ear and said: "What's up bitch?"

When the victim screamed, her sister and Morgan ran into the kitchen. Morgan

got between Williams and the victim and took the knife away from Williams. The victim

was taken to the hospital where she received seven stitches for her wound.

We will refer to Williams's father as Morgan for clarity. No disrespect is intended. 2 Morgan called the sheriff's office and met the responding deputy outside the

house. Morgan told the deputy that his son had stabbed someone and that he had taken

the knife from him. Morgan took the deputy into the house for further investigation.

Defense

Williams testified in his own behalf. He testified that although he had met the

victim previously, he did not know her and did not socialize with her.

Williams denied the stabbing and denied any type of fight took place. He denied

his father took a knife…
