Lethon Williams, of Atlantic, was sentenced on October 18 in Accomack County Circuit Court to a 10 year sentence, with all but 7 months suspended. He was convicted in April of distributing cocaine.
Defense attorney Carl Bundick called on Mr. Williams to testify at his sentencing. Citing the many family activities and milestones he missed while incarcerated, Mr. Williams said that he was ready to return to work and to his family. He testified that he had served as a jail trustee, and through that work, earned a reputation as a hard worker. He called his crime an irrational decision made a hard time in his life; his mother had died two weeks before the cocaine sale that led to his arrest.
Judge W. Revell Lewis III said that Mr. Williams struck him as a man with healthy self-esteem, at that was attributable, in part, to having distinguished himself by working hard while in jail.
The 9 years and 5 months of suspended sentence time is on the condition of good behavior for 10 years.
