Jayson Williams Acquitted of Manslaughter
by TChris
The jury hearing charges against Jayson Williams -- the NBA player turned analyst who shot his driver with a shotgun -- found Williams not guilty of aggravated manslaughter and could not reach a verdict on the charge of reckless manslaughter. Williams was convicted of four lesser charges that related to tampering with evidence and trying to conceal his role in the shooting. An excellent result for Williams and his lawyer, Billy Martin, given the facts of this difficult case.
Sentencing has not yet been scheduled. TalkLeft background on the case is here and here and here.
