Their Story

Two Parents. One Decade of Injustice.

Larry and Carri Williams are not criminals. They are a family — and their story deserves to be heard.

Larry and Carri Williams

Who They Are

A Family Rooted in Faith and Community

Larry and Carri Williams were known in their community as devoted parents, people of deep faith, and tireless advocates for children in need. Over the years, they opened their home to multiple children through adoption, believing they could offer love, stability, and a future.

By all accounts from those who knew them, they were caring, committed parents who poured themselves into their family. Friends, church members, and community leaders have spoken out consistently in their defense — describing a couple whose character and conduct were beyond reproach.

What Happened

A Tragedy Turned Into a Conviction

In 2011, their adopted daughter Hana passed away under circumstances that led to a criminal investigation. The case quickly became a media flashpoint, with coverage that many believe was sensationalized and prejudicial before any verdict was reached.

Larry and Carri were charged and, in 2013, convicted. Supporters and legal observers have raised serious concerns about the trial — including questions about the quality of evidence presented, the conduct of the investigation, and whether the jury received a fair and complete picture of the facts.

They have maintained their innocence throughout. And a growing number of people — including legal advocates, family members, and community supporters — believe the justice system failed them.

We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for the truth to be heard.

— Larry Williams, in a letter from prison

Why We Fight

Serious Questions Remain Unanswered

Questionable Evidence

Key evidence presented at trial has been challenged by independent experts who believe it was mischaracterized or incomplete.

Media Bias

Extensive pretrial media coverage created a climate of public opinion that many believe made a fair trial nearly impossible.

Procedural Concerns

Legal advocates have identified procedural issues with how the case was investigated and prosecuted that raise serious due process questions.

Character Evidence Ignored

Dozens of witnesses who could speak to Larry and Carri's character and parenting were not given adequate opportunity to testify.
