A slew of motions were disposed of in Rockwall County’s Auxiliary Court on Friday morning in the Eric Williams murder case, including delaying his trial for yet another time.
Dallas Criminal District Court No. 7 Judge Mike Snipes, appointed in 2013 to hear the case, denied Williams’ defense team a continuance...
He said if the trial starts on Dec. 1 as scheduled, Seymour will have had 20 months to prepare the case. Snipes said that would be significantly more time than any other capital murder case he has heard.

Opening statements are scheduled for Monday in the case against Eric Williams, who is accused of gunning down Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, in March 2013, two months after the shooting death of prosecutor Mark Hasse...
Authorities accuse Williams of shooting the three in revenge after McLelland prosecuted him for stealing county computer monitors. That conviction cost Williams his justice of the peace position and his law license...
Williams' wife, Kim, is accused of helping him carry out the slayings and is expected to testify against him.
