MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — A Skagit County couple convicted of beating, starving and freezing their adopted daughter to death has learned their fates. Larry and Carri Williams were convicted this summer of killing their adopted daughter, Hana, and assaulting their adopted son, Immanuel, in the name of discipline. Hana froze and starved to death outside the Williams' Sedro-Woolley home 2 1/2 years ago. Prosecutors recommended at least 14 years for Larry Williams, but his attorney asked for a short 5-year sentence.
