“Lloyd Williams has nine children in total: two stepchildren and seven biological,” Chamberlain wrote in a recent decision. “The youngest is just 10 months old.” One is 22 months old, and another is three, said the judge. Lloyd Williams is not trafficking small amounts of cocaine simply to feed his addiction.”The judge did not consider Williams’ addiction a mitigating factor. The judge accepted that some of Williams’ “children are infants or toddlers, and that any assistance must benefit the mother who cares for them. They demand a proportionate response.”The judge recognized “that his further incarceration will have a negative impact” on Williams’ family.
