There is also evidence that the mental stability of Williams may have been in question some ten years ago. In a letter to Judge Freddie Pitcher from Williams' probation officer in January of 1991 urged the judge to consider revoking Williams' probation because of his total lack of cooperation. However, nothing was done.

More than a year later another letter again asks the judge to consider revocation stating "the subject's mother has contacted us concerning the subjects behavior and requested he be evaluated." In that same letter the probation officer wrote to the court "we finally obtained an evaluation from a private facility."

The news in the evaluation report foretold the future... It said, "The complaints, by the probation officer and the mother, are a history of arrests for burglary, physical violence and substance ingestion...." the report concluded...."It is likely this patient suffers from a character disorder which prevents his use of good judgement...he has an increasing history of violence," and it concluded, "Without significant psychiatric intervention this patient will likely continue to contact the criminal justice system and be a threat to his family and others."
