   A man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to capital murder charges for sexually   
   abusing and killing a 5-year-old girl, but because of the way Alabama law   
   works, prosecutors must still prove the homicide case before a jury because it   
   is a capital offense,    
   according to Columbus Ledger-Enquirer.   
      
   Jeremy Tremaine Williams, 39, is set for trial scheduled for begin April 8.   
   The victim’s mother, Kristy Marie Siple, aka Kristy Hoskins, 37, pleaded   
   guilty to human trafficking, also on Wednesday, and she agreed to testify   
   against her co-defendant.   
      
   “All we did today is evidence that he is guilty, but it is not proof that he   
   is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Williams’ attorney, Charles Floyd   
   III, told the news outlet.   
      
   Siple reported her daughter, Kamarie Holland, 5, missing from Columbia,   
   Georgia. The child was found slain at a home in an abandoned home in nearby   
   Phenix City, Alabama. in December 2021. Authorities said Williams recorded the   
   abuse.   
      
   At the time, Siple emphatically denied wrongdoing.   
      
   “I’m a mommy,” Siple told local ABC affiliate WTVM in a Dec. 15, 2021,   
   interview. “I did not have nothing to do with this. She was my life. I lived   
   for her daily. She was my only girl. I have three boys and her.”   
      
   And yet Siples on Wednesday pleaded guilty to human trafficking because she   
   sold Kamarie to Williams for sexual abuse. She made the plea and agreed to   
   testify against Williams in exchange for 20 years in prison and her murder   
   case being dropped, though    
   the court has yet to do the sentencing.   
      
   “If you can’t count on your mom, who can you count on?” Russell County   
   District Attorney Rich Chancy told reporters after court after being asked   
   whether people could fairly described Siple as a “monster,” according to   
   the Ledger-Enquirer.   
      
   “Monster” is the word that Kamarie’s father used for Siple after the   
   initial charges.   
      
   “She’s a monster,” Corey Holland told Columbus, Georgia, CBS affiliate   
   WRBL in a statement in a Dec. 29, 2021, report. “A real mother protects and   
   would die for her children. Kristy is a monster. My family and I will continue   
   to wrestle with the    
   loss of losing our angel Kamarie. We will ask that you continue to make your   
   news about her and the justice she deserves.”   
      
   Williams reportedly changed his plea on Wednesday without a deal from   
   prosecutors.   
      
   When Judge David Johnson asked him why he was pleading guilty, Williams said,   
   “To expedite the process.”   
      
   Asked if he had a reason to expedite it, he said no.   
      
   Jurors do not have to review his guilty plea as to the charges of producing   
   obscene material, abusing a corpse, first-degree human trafficking, and   
   conspiracy to commit human trafficking.   
      
   Prosecutors, however, must still prove the homicide case, with separate   
   capital murder counts for Williams killing her, killing her during a   
   kidnapping, killing her while committing first-degree rape, and killing her   
   while committing first-degree sodomy.   
      
   Williams faces death or life without the possibility of parole if convicted.   
      
   According to Alabama law:
