Devin Williams is charged with two counts of murder for allegedly gunning down his girlfriend and her husband inside their Dublin home.
Williams’ attorneys, Matthew Dalton and Marvin Lew, argued in a court motion that “any evidence of Mr. Williams’ good moral character” contained in his personnel and background file “could assist his defense by establishing his character for non-violence.”
In a motion to quash the subpoena, Deputy County Counsel Beatrice Liu fired back that the defense is seeking, “confidential, privileged, private, sensitive, and protected information that is not necessary and/or relevant to the criminal proceeding,” and that Williams signed a waiver restricting his access to the file five months before the homicides.
Lew and Dalton responded to the argument by citing comments Alameda County Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Kelly, the department’s former spokesman, gave to the news station KTVU confirming that Williams’ arrest was the impetus behind the 47-deputy audit. It is unclear whether the personnel records include reference to an incident a month before the killings, when. The incident prompted a response by police, but Williams was not arrested or detained, and explained to the responding deputy he was looking for his girlfriend.
