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 (Jun. 11)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 81 degrees; 0.46 feet above pool. The hybrid striped bass and white bass bite is on fire and with fish on a feeding frenzy! Start looking for these fish on flats throughout the lake and on edges of drop-offs, especially on cloudy and overcast days. Focus on drop-offs and along seawalls early in the mornings in 5-14 feet of water with slabs. Reports of great catches in 17–26 feet of water using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits off the bottom with a very slow retrieve. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for fish under bridge pylons or under docks in 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Numbers of catfish can be caught targeting humps in 10-20 feet of water, but there are a lot of small fish. Bigger fish can be caught drifting cut shad, carp, drum or bream. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
