inside the louisville metro department of corrections jail kendra wilson is the latest inmate to be entangled in a complex web of high-profile cases. she is charged with the attempted murder of james mallory, who himself is charged with murdering wilson s son. 1220, give me dorm 7 cell 2. to make matters worse the high-profile nature of her case requires the jail to take security precautions that include isolating her from others. what i m saying. i cannot do you understand what i m going through? i m being accused of something i didn t do. my son is dead, and i m in a single cell. i m getting punished i thought i m innocent until proven guilty. you re not getting punished.
because people had $25,000 hit over my head. because of the supposedly you re going to testify? yeah. mallory alleges that holt s mother, kendra wilson, lured him to an alley to collect the bounty placed on his head for testifying against jones. he says two men approached him for a cigarette and then questioned him about jones. one guy, he was like you telling me on my people s hot boy, ain t you? i was like nah, there s a misunderstanding or whatever, his trial s monday, i ain t telling on this guy. he said yeah, you are. he drew and grabbed a pistol like this. so immediately when he did that i kind of shook to try to grab him. he shot at my leg, and he ripped through my pants. i got a graze mark from my knee. it had fragments. it was bleeding. it s trying to heal now. let me just play devil s advocate for a second. that whole scenario that you explained is motive.
nine-year prison sentence for armed robbery. a judge gave him probation after learning he had written a letter to prosecutors saying he had evidence against jones and was willing to testify. but now along with anthony hogan he has been charged with the murder of gregory holt. i m not guilty. i didn t kill nobody, and i didn t burglarize nobody s home. and i have not owned a gun since i ve been out of corrections. but mallory thinks he knows why he s been implicated in gregory holt s murder. i was implicated in it because his mother led me into an alley to get killed. we re talking about that 15-year-old boy. his mother. kendra wilson is his mother. what was your relationship with her? a friend. i ve been knowing her forever. and i feel like she set me up. so they feel like after she set me up i went to retaliate on her. which is not true. okay. but why would she set you up?
