P. v. Williams
Jolene Williams got into a fight while attending a party at the home of Tyrone Clark Steele, Sr., and was asked to leave. Moments later, her husband, defendant Delmas Raymond Williams, arrived outside Steeles home armed with a baseball bat and a buck knife. When Steele told defendant to go away, defendant raised his bat. Steele then tackled defendant, who stabbed Steele in the abdomen causing his death.
Defendant entered a negotiated plea of no contest to voluntary manslaughter, admitted that he personally used a knife in committing the crime, and agreed to a stipulated sentence of 12 years in prison, including the upper term of 11 years for the manslaughter. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, Court find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant. The judgment is affirmed.
