Tenth Anniversary of Amanda Taylor's Murder; Five Years Until Weems is Free?

 

It was ten years ago today that Amanda Taylor walked into the Muscle Shoals home of Ronald Eugene Weems, never to exit the Moss Avenue house alive. The man who called himself Ron Wikkid was arrested two months later and eventually sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Now 43, in two more years Weems will officially be what sociologists call middle-aged. Three years after that, he will have his first parole hearing. It's doubtful that anyone besides Ron's mother and his four children will support his bid for freedom; however, we have no idea how big a fan base the Wikked One has amassed while incarcerated at the Limestone Correctional Facility.

All communications will be read, kept on file, and then reread before his December 2026 hearing. Unfortunately for Amanda Taylor's family, these hearings are apt to repeat every five years until Weems is either released or draws his last breath.
