A North Texas woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder and was sentenced to 40 years in prison after earlier testifying that she helped her husband gun down a district attorney, his wife and a top assistant in a revenge plot. Kim Williams appeared in court two weeks after her husband, Eric Williams, was sentenced to death for one of the three killings. She testified during Eric Williams' sentencing hearing that she was a 'willing participant,' driving the getaway car after the January 2013 shooting of prosecutor Mark Hasse and helping hide weapons after the March 2013 shootings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia.
