Lennox on Trial Delivers Shifting Statements in Williams Murder
Charles Lennox faces a life trial for the Silver Bow Junction killing of Fireman John R. Williams on May 19. Prosecutors seek to admit a confession while the defense challenges its admissibility, hinting Lennox may offer a different account from prior statements to the coroner, county attorney, and in a co defendant’s trial. Jurors for the panel were finally secured after extensive voir dire, with evidence outlining the assault and fatal shooting, autopsy findings, and Williams dying declarations presented by Drs Turner and Mackel and witnesses Sowa Sommers and Smith. The case hinges on whether Lennox and Martin acted together, and whether dying statements are admissible. The day closed with arguments over the allegedly coerced confession and further testimony scheduled.
