Michigan Man Sentenced to Life for Murdering Radio News Anchor Jim Matthews.
Arthur Williamson, a friend of a radio news anchor's girlfriend, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the anchor and attack on his family. Williamson pleaded no contest to first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and unlawful imprisonment. The anchor was found bludgeoned with a hammer, while his girlfriend and their children were injured. The judge called Williamson the "embodiment of evil" and the victim's son wrote in a statement that Williamson ruined their lives.
