Alfred J. Williams, 18, was sentenced by Johnson County District Judge William Cleaver to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of two counts of first degree murder and four counts of attempted murder for firing a .22 caliber handgun into a crowd outside Olathe North High School in September 1995. Williams opposed the prosecutors, saying they could not know what happened that weekend. Morrison had urged a hard 40 ruling before parole eligibility.
