Paroled killer arrested in Rankin County on DUI charge
SUMMARY: James Williams III, who was paroled earlier this year after serving 18 years for the double murder of his father and stepmother, has been arrested for driving under the influence. The family of one of his victims is questioning why the Parole Board decided to release him in the first place. Williams was originally sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at the age of 17. The Parole Board’s decision to grant his release, despite opposition from the victim’s family, has been criticized. Williams is expected to appear before the Parole Board to determine if his DUI arrest violated his parole.
