P. v. Williams CA2/8
Defendant Yvonne D. Keith and defendant Allen Williams planned the murder of Erik Poltorak with Michael Thomas (Michael). Michael wanted Poltorak killed because Poltorak was scheduled to testify that Michael robbed him. Jessicha Thomas (Jessicha), Michael’s niece, was with Williams when he shot and killed Poltorak. After killing Poltorak, Keith, Williams, and Jessicha visited Michael, who was incarcerated, and confirmed that Poltorak had been killed. After being arrested, Williams and Keith confessed to the killing, and Keith also confessed when she testified at trial.
Defendants Keith and Williams raise numerous challenges to their convictions. Michael and Jessicha were not tried with Keith and Williams and are not parties to this appeal. We direct the trial court to modify the abstract of judgments to reflect the trial court’s order that Keith and Williams bear the restitution costs jointly and severally. In all other respects, we affirm the judgments.
