Carjacker speaks out, says he was desperate
WTVG--April 30, 2007 - A man accused of carjacking an Ohio lawyer says he was desperate but not dangerous. Martino Williamson admitted to carjacking the lawyer after nabbing his wallet and forcing him into the trunk of his car. He says he was even going to drive the victim back where he found him after he emptied his checking account. Williamson says he is not a violent man and would not hurt his victim. "I was just walking thru the neighborhood, see him standing there, saw an opportunity and decided to take it. It's desperate out here." The victim still had a cell phone and called 911 from inside the trunk. Police quickly caught Williamson before he got his hands on any cash. .
