Attorneys for a man accused of first degree Murder want the testimony of a witness from a different trial who has since been murdered disallowed, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. 33 year old Robert Williams Jr is accused of killing Vincent Hemenway in August of 2020. Williams and his brother, Ralpheal Williams, allegedly endeavored to rob a drug stash house but turned their attention to Hemenway who was working on a motorcycle. Robert Williams ex girlfriend Ana Berinobis-McLemore was charged with helping to plan the crime. She testified against Ralpheal Williams’ at his robbery trial. Williams was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Then, in May Berinobis-McLemore was killed as she sat in a car. Robert Williams’ lawyers say that they cannot cross examine Berinobis-McLemore, so the prosecution should not be allowed to use her testimony from the previous trial. Nobody has been arrested in the Berinobis-McLemore killing to this point.
