Both Glanz and Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado declined to comment Monday.

Regalado, who was not a Tulsa County employee at the time of Williams’ death, was sued in his official capacity as a representative of the Sheriff’s Office.

Smolen hailed the jury’s decision.

“I think that they came to the conclusion that any jury in this case would come to: that Elliott Williams needed justice; his family needed justice. And they have that today, and they can kind of move past this now,” Smolen said.

Kevin Williams, Elliott Williams’ brother, said he was satisfied with the jury’s decision, but he called for criminal charges to be filed.

“No amount of money is going to bring him back,” Kevin Williams said of his brother. “People need to be going to jail. There needs to be criminal charges filed.”

The jury found that the county was “indifferent” to Williams when he was in jail and also to “problems that have existed in the jail for decades,” Smolen said.
