Witness Jones testified that he knew of the argument between Eric Williams and John Burt because an angry Williams had referenced it and while referring to Attorney Burt, stated, “I’ll kill him. I’ll stab him and his wife and kids, and burn his house down.”
Witness Gray explained that she had dated Eric Williams seventeen years ago and that she broke off their relationship, over the telephone, and that she had told him she no longer wanted to see him because she wanted to date someone else who happened to live close to her home.
Witness Gray testified that several weeks later she attended a conference in Huntsville, Texas, and that upon arriving at the hotel to register, she encountered Eric Williams within the lobby of the hotel.
Witness Gray said, “He came over to me and we began to talk. He asked me to dinner and I said I didn’t think that would be a good idea. He said he had something he wanted to give my son. Then he showed me that he had a gun.”

Hmmm They arrested him on the same charge as the other guy. The one who wasn't related to the investigation. And for "insufficient bond". What is insufficient bond?
My guess is that they believe he is the one. And they arrested him for the other charges in order to gain more time to gather more evidence for the murder charges. Or to get the evidence to pull in any accomplices.
The next few days should be interesting.

I think the reason for his lockup was to get him off the street and make it difficult for him to: 1.) run for the hills, and: 2.) to work on his defense.
I think they may have the right guy. He had access to automatic weapons thru the Texas State Guard. There needs to be some scrutiny on some members of the Texas State Guard that might have tried to help him. The State Guard was a major part of his defense in the computer theft trial.
