This comment of the day comes from Mary_spears143, who wrote in about Kerstan Leonard’s conviction in June of first-degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of Melody Williams at an apartment complex in Southeast DC.
Melody was my great aunt and he shot my 2 daughters her nieces on that fateful day….yes he was convicted but at sentencing on Sept 9, 2011 he also fired his paid attorney that he hired after he fired 2 public defenders asking for a new court appointed lawyer so he could file a motion for a new trial due to not be represented properly. IT WILL BE 3 YRS DEC 5, 2011 AND NOW WE MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH YET ANOTHER TRIAL? R.I.P. AUNT MELODY WILLIAMS….JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED…..SOONER OR LATER……….
