Tommy Wittman

Thomas Gregory "Tommy" Wittman was an accomplice of serial killer James Stanworth during his attack on the Sanderson family. He appeared in flashbacks in 25 to Life.

History
Tommy was a petty thief who worked at a grocery store alongside Mary Rutka, also a petty thief. The grocery store was frequented by Don Sanderson and his family. One day, he and Mary were manipulated by James Stanworth to aid him in an attack the Sanderson family at their home, which previously belonged to James but was lost by his family and therefore enraging him. On the night of March 9-10, 1985, the trio broke into the Sanderson home and carried out the attack, with James stabbing to death Don's wife Carrie and their daughter Abby. They managed to get away with the murders and Don was left to take all of the blame. For the next 25 years, Tommy moved on with his life. In 2010, he came home one day to find a recently-released Don in the kitchen, having identified him as one of the assailants from his Internet research in prison. Don holds him at gunpoint, but Tommy fights back, gaining the upper hand. This prompts Don to grab a kitchen knife and fatally stab him in self-defense. Ironically, James had stabbed Carrie and Abby, which initially led police to accuse Don of murder. Eventually, the BAU proved Don's innocence and arrested James by the end of the episode.
