LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) — A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of a woman charged with rendering criminal assistance in the videotaped torture and eventual homicide of a man in Lakewood, Wash.
Court Commissioner Diana Lynn Kiesel ordered Heather Lambertson jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail during the woman’s court appearance Monday. Pierce County prosecutors contend Lambertson gave a man a ride to and from an apartment where 50-year-old Alfred Keith Roberts was tortured. His body was found earlier this year near Harts Lake.
Prosecutors have previously charged three men and a woman in the case. Law enforcement obtained the 19-minute video earlier this year.
