ELMORE COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) – An Elmore County grand jury has not issued an indictment in the Daniel Williams case.

Williams was allegedly beaten, tortured and sexually assaulted at Staton Prison in Elmore in October 2023. He was from Jefferson County.

The case was investigated by the Alabama Department of Corrections’ Law Enforcement Division.

District Attorney CJ Robinson said it took a long time to hear the evidence and deliberate the grand jury, but it did not get 12 votes to indict.

Robinson said if new evidence is presented, he could refile the case.
