W. Va. Inmate Says Victim Lied
It's not your usual confession, but inmate Frankie Brewster, a woman from Logan County who is imprisoned for her role in the 2007 kidnapping and torture of Megan Williams, says Williams lied this week when she recanted her story that sentenced six attackers to lengthy prison terms. Williams, who suffers psychological problems, claimed she lied when she told authorities in 2007 that she was beaten, sexually assaulted, forced to eat feces and drink urine, among other things, while being held captive at a trailer in rural Logan County. However, Brewster, who is serving 10 to 25 years and is at the Lakin Correctional Center, is rejecting Williams' new version of events by continuing to confess the torturing did in fact occur and that all who were imprisoned participated. At the time of the trial, all who were accused pleaded guilty.
