   (KRON) — One of two men who carried out a Satanist-inspired “thrill kill”   
   murder in San Jose was freed from prison and released back into Santa   
   Clara County. Former inmate Jae Williams, 29, was granted early release on   
   November 20, court records show.   
      
   Williams was a 15-year-old high school student when he and his 16-year-old   
   friend, Randy Thompson, decided they wanted to kill someone. The boys   
   befriended 15-year-old Michael Russell with the sole intention of   
   murdering him in 2009.   
      
   The victim’s family’s attorney, Scotty J. Storey, told KRON4, “Jae and   
   Randy set out with a goal of killing someone just to find out what it felt   
   like. They cultivated a ‘friendship’ with Mikey, lulling him into a sense   
   of security with them, to achieve their goal.”   
      
   When San Jose Police Department homicide detectives were investigating the   
   teen’s grisly death, Williams told police that his religion, Satanism,   
   gave him permission to kill.   
      
   The three boys went to Russell’s house on Nov. 10, 2009. When the trio was   
   alone in the backyard, Williams and Thompson attacked the victim with a   
   knife. They reportedly took turns stabbing the Santa Teresa High School   
   student.   
      
   Storey said the terror Russell must have felt realizing his “friends” were   
   going to kill him is unimaginable.   
      
   With Williams freed from prison, the victim’s surviving family members are   
   also terrified, Storey said.   
      
   “They are very disappointed in the legislative system that created the   
   statute, which lead his release. They are also terrified for themselves   
   and for society. There is no indication that Jae Williams ever showed any   
   contrition or remorse for taking Mikey’s life or the brutal way that he   
   and Randy murdered him,” Storey told KRON4.   
      
   For their trials, Thompson and Williams were charged and convicted as   
   adults, and sentenced to serve 26 years to life in prison. Senate Bill   
   1391, passed in 2018, prohibits anyone under the age of 16 from being   
   charged as an adult. After California’s law passed, Williams’ case was   
   transferred into juvenile court.   
      
   Thompson — who was just one year older than Williams at the time of the   
   “Thrill Kill” — remains locked up in San Quentin State Prison, a   
   California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesperson   
   confirmed to KRON4. “He was sentenced to life with the possibility of   
   parole for first-degree murder. He is in CDCR custody,” the spokesperson   
   wrote.   
      
   Thompson’s next parole hearing is scheduled for March of 2024. He will be   
   eligible for parole in May of 2028, according to state inmate records.   
      
   Williams was set free hours after a discharge hearing was held in Santa   
   Clara County juvenile court on November 20. His mother, Christina   
   Trujillo, and defense attorney, Lewis Octavio Romero, appeared in the   
   courtroom with him, court records state.   
      
   The court set the following probation conditions on the convicted   
   murderer’s release:   
      
   Williams cannot change his place of residence without prior approval from   
   his probation officer.   
      
   Williams is forbidden from associating with Thompson. He is also barred   
   from having any “intentional contact” with the victim’s family members.   
      
   He must participate in re-entry services.   
      
   He may not leave his family’s home between 11 p.m.-6 a.m.   
      
   He must attend school, vocational training, or maintain full-time   
   employment.   
      
   Williams may not use, possess, or be under the influence of alcohol or   
   drugs.   
      
   He is subject to search and seizure at any time by law enforcement.   
      
   Williams is not allowed to own firearms until he turns 30 years old on   
   June 8, 2024.   
      
   If Williams violates his probation conditions, he could be ordered back to   
   jail for no longer than six months.
