Today we’re revisiting the case of Shirley Strawberry’s ex-husband, Ernest “Nesto” Williams—and this situation just took another turn.After being re-indicted earlier this year, the case has continued to develop behind the scenes. But on April 15, 2026, prosecutors made a major move by filing a series of pre-trial motions that show this case is actively being prepared for trial. And one filing in particular could change everything.The State is now asking the judge for permission to introduce what’s called “other acts” evidence—meaning they want the jury to hear about additional alleged incidents beyond the core case. This includes allegations involving another reported victim, Leloni Thwaites, as well as references to prior conduct that prosecutors argue shows a pattern, intent, and common scheme.Now let’s be clear—this is not about new charges being added. This is about what the jury may or may not be allowed to hear when this case goes to trial. And that decision? It could completely shape how this case plays out.Because if the judge allows this evidence in, the jury won’t just hear one story—they’ll hear a much broader narrative. And that raises a bigger question… is this case heading toward trial, or something else before it ever gets there?We’re breaking it all down—from the re-indictment, to the April filings, to what these motions really mean moving forward.As always, we deal with receipts over here.
