Indio stabbing trial of Jamin Williams

Entities: Indio, California · Jamin “Jay” Demar Williams · Laura Garcia · Riverside County Superior Court · Robert Presley Jail

Overview

In late July 2026, the Riverside County Superior Court began the trial of Jamin “Jay” Demar Williams, accused of repeatedly stabbing his girlfriend beneath a bridge in Indio, California. Jury selection was overseen by Judge Laura Garcia, who denied Williams’s request to dismiss his court‑appointed attorney. Williams remained detained without bail at the Robert Presley Jail.

By early August, the trial had moved to the deliberation phase. After a brief initial session, jurors were instructed to reconvene and continue their deliberations on the assault charges, which include assault with a deadly weapon resulting in great bodily injury and domestic‑violence enhancements. The proceedings continued under Judge Garcia’s supervision, with Williams still held without bail pending the verdict.
