The young killers of Barnesville's Roderick Crawford have been sentenced to long prison terms after entering guilty pleas.
Keira Mitchelle Williams quietly entered guilty pleas to malice murder and kidnapping Oct. 8, 2019. Judge Fletcher Sams sentenced her to life in prison plus 20 years. Williams, now serving her time at Pulaski State Prison, agreed to testify against co-defendant Cameron Jones.
Jones walked into court in Fayette County Feb. 20 for hearings before Judge Sams on a change of venue and other motions and surprised everyone by saying he wanted to plead guilty and accept the last plea deal offered by the prosecution which had been taken off the table.
The offer was resuscitated and Jones pleaded guilty to malice murder and aggravated assault. He also got life plus 20 years and will very likely die in prison. “He is certainly not a model prisoner,” GBI case agent Josh Ayer said.
The body of Crawford, 46, was found behind a mobile home at 1414 Grantling Street in the crime-ridden Lincoln Park area of Thomaston. He left his home on Howard Road at 7 p.m. Dec. 28, 2018, telling his sons he was going to check his driving schedule at J&M Trucking. His wife missed a call from him at 7:19 p.m. and his phone was disabled soon thereafter. He was never heard from again.
