Sean Williams gets fifth attorney and new trial date
A judge granted Sean Williams’ request for a fifth court-appointed attorney ahead of his federal child porn trial, but told Williams that if he can’t get along with his new attorney, he will have to represent himself again. Greeneville U.S. District Court Judge Ronnie Greer appointed Mark E. Brown of Knoxville as Williams’ new attorney and also granted Williams’ request to push the trial back, which is now scheduled to start Oct. 22. Williams represented himself in his escape trial last month after going through 4 court appointed attorney’s. Each count of sexual exploitation of a minor that Williams is facing, carries a potential prison sentence of up to 30 years. Being granted of the request for a new attorney and a later trial date also came with the “fifth and final warning” about working with his new attorney.
