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 (Sep. 24)

EXCELLENT. Water slightly stained; 77 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Consistently finding the best hybrid action in 13-18 feet of water with slabs, and spinnerbaits using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons with a hellbender set-up at 3 mph in 13-17 feet of water is absolutely crushing the white bass on several humps throughout the lake. As water temperatures decrease into the low 70s we will target big hybrids on shallow ledges and humps with Alabama rigs. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck's Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The catfish pattern will remain consistent until cooler weather arrives. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet fishing small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet throughout the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
