- 2:16Speaker 3: her children, forcing three of them to live for over

- 2:36Speaker 3: Kendrick was beaten to death by William's boyfriend, Brian Colter,
- 2:41Speaker 3: who was sentenced to life without parole in April. Yet
- 2:44Speaker 3: Williams never reported her son's death. Instead, the eldest sibling,
- 2:49Speaker 3: had just fifteen, found the courage to seek help. During sentencing,
- 2:53Speaker 3: Williams expressed regret, but prosecutors highlighted her role in the
- 2:58Speaker 3: trauma suffered by her children. She had moved to another
- 3:01Speaker 3: apartment with Colter, abandoning her surviving children in appalling conditions.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Since her arrest, Williams has relinquished her parental rights. The
- 3:11Speaker 3: two younger siblings have been adopted, while the eldest is

- 3:47Speaker 2: of the incident. The confrontation, reportedly over a woman's attention,
- 3:51Speaker 2: took place in San Juan de la mcguana, resulting in
- 3:53Speaker 2: Franco's detention alongside two other individuals, a man and a woman.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Dominican authorities confirmed two fire arms were seized at the scene.
- 4:01Speaker 2: According to Franco's attorney, Teodosio Jaquez, no one was physically
