‘Michael Worley, you disgust me’

(Editor’s note: While the News Journal recognizes that Wanda Richardson’s family and Michael Worley’s family are all technically family since Richardson was Worley’s aunt, family members are referred to as “Richardson’s family” and “Worley’s family” throughout the story to clarify which individual they appeared in court to support.)

Emotions were high Monday, as Whitley County Circuit Court Judge Dan Ballou sentenced Michael Worley, of Williamsburg, to 25 years in prison in connection to the murder of his aunt Wanda Richardson.

Michael Worley is charged with murder in the death of his aunt, Wanda Richardson.
