Re: Letter of Support for Terrell Williams

Dear Honorable Judge,

I am writing to you in support of my son, Terrell Williams. I am aware of the charges brought against
him and the upcoming court proceedings, and I believe it is important to share my perspective on his
character and his conduct.

Terrell’s upbringing was “rocky” at best. When he was very young, I was faced with a housing dilem-
ma where I was forced to send him to his father in order that my (3) daughters and I could avoid
homelessness. Shortly after, I learned that his father left that home and left him with his stepmother
and her (2) children. At about age 16-17, Terrell left his stepmother’s home. He made some bad
choices which resulted in some hard/troubled times. But he learned his lesson. . .

Over the past years, I have had the privilege of witnessing Terrell demonstrate unwavering integrity,
compassion, and responsibility. In spite of the troubled times, my son has always been a person of
high moral character. He is honest and truthful, and has always shown respect for others. He treats
people with dignity and kindness.

I’ve also observed him fulfill his responsibilities with diligence and dedication. He consistently
displays a strong work ethic. So much so that his current employer has offered to hold his position
for him until his return, following your sentencing. Terrell goes above and beyond expectations. . .
he exhibits reliability and dependability when performing tasks.

Terrell is a husband and the father of three (3) teenaged girls who depend on him tremendously. His
absence will be a detriment to them. I have come to count on him when I need help at my home; and,
to assist with the guidance of my grandson (his nephew) who is just entering his teenage season.

Based on what I know of my son, I can say, definitely, that the actions previously alleged in the
charges against him are uncharacteristic of his true nature. I know that the son I raised is a person of
integrity. He made a mistake and is deeply remorseful for the consequences it caused. He expressed
to me that he has no desire to spend time away from his family.

I kindly request the court’s consideration of Terrell Williams’s overall character and contributions to
his family.

Thank you for taking the time to review this letter. Should you require any additional information or
further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via the provided contact details.

Respectfully,


Alma Williams-Stinson
