NBC Dateline to air 'Vendetta," the story of 3 Kaufman County murders




“Vendetta,” the story of former Kaufman County Justice of the Peace Eric Williams' murderous rampage, will air Friday, February 27 at 8 p.m. CST.

Williams is now sitting on death row awaiting execution, but his lawyers are attempting to get a new trial for him. They contend Williams' diabetic condition caused him brain damage that would justify a defense of insanity.

Dateline released the following synopsis of the two-hour show this week, along with a link to a preview.

When a beloved prosecutor is assassinated outside a courthouse in a small Texas town, the crime sends shockwaves throughout the law enforcement community. Two months later, the county’s District Attorney and his wife are found murdered.

Investigators soon discover the killings may be connected and are left in a desperate race for answers. Andrea Canning reports new details in a case that riveted the nation (NEW).

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
