Mom accused of putting toddler sons in oven enters not guilty plea

ATLANTA — A Georgia woman accused of killing her two young sons and putting them in an oven entered a not guilty plea during her arraignment Monday.

Lamora Williams was silent while prosecutors read the 14 charges against her. Prosecutors believe she may have burned 2-year-old Ke'Younte Penn and 1-year-old Ja'Karter Williams to make it difficult to determine how she killed them. The boys were found dead in October inside their southwest Atlanta apartment.

Family members previously said Williams, a single mother of four, suffered from mental health disorders. Williams initially claimed she had left her children with a caregiver.

In February, a Fulton County grand jury indicted Williams on charges that included murder, aggravated assault and concealing a death. Through her attorney, she pleaded "not guilty" to four of those charges Monday. The remainder of the charges will be addressed at her next hearing, scheduled for March 30.
