IOWA CITY - A 49-year-old Coralville woman accused of setting a fire that killed a 14-year-old relative entered a written plea of not guilty to first-degree murder on Thursday.
Prosecutors say Lillie Williams knew her cousin's home at 720 11th Ave. in Coralville was occupied when she set fire to it in September, causing the smoke and heat inhalation that killed Raymone Bryant.
Williams remains in the Johnson County Jail, where she is being held on $1 million bond. A trial date has not yet been set in Johnson County District Court.
