A woman who allegedly slaughtered a frightened elderly couple and stole their car cackled with delight when asked about her new wheels, her murder trial heard.
Vickie Williams, 50, is accused of killing Darryl, 83, and Sharon Getman, 80, at their Mount Dora, Florida home, near Orlando, on December 31, 2022.
She allegedly armed herself with a kitchen knife and stabbed the couple several times, her trial heard this week, WESH 2 reported.
Prosecutors claim she laundered her clothes in the Getmans’ home and then fled to Savannah, Georgia in a green Kia Soul registered to the couple, the court heard.
Williams, who denied knowing the vehicle was stolen, told police she was homeless and claimed her friend, Fuller Blue Jr, lent her the car to sleep in.
Blue took the stand this week, telling the court how Williams showed up at his Savannah apartment after the fatal stabbings.
‘She busted out laughing,’ Blue, who works with people experiencing homelessness, told the court. ‘She said everything was ok. She bought her a new car.’
Williams is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and grand theft of a motor vehicle. She pleaded not guilty to all charges, court records show, with the defense asking the jury not to convict her due to an alleged psychosis at the time of the killings.
