MOBILE, Alabama – Shaniah Michele Woods is a transgender woman, a drag show queen and an attention-seeker who once went on the "Jerry Springer Show."

What Woods is not, her mother insists, is a murderer.

"She was never the violent type," said Barbara Smith, who lives in Daytona Beach, Florida. "If you knew Shaniah, you would be praying for Shaniah."

Mobile police, however, allege that Woods and co-defendant Christopher Anthony Williams did turn violent on March 20 when U.S. Coast Guard technician Robert A. "Andrew" Roberts died from gunshot wounds at the Baymont Inn and Suites off of Interstate 65.
