Jury Searches Eyes For Evidence of Guilt
by TChris
Jayson Williams escaped a manslaughter conviction for a number of reasons, but his "soft brown eyes" may have played a key role.
Williams's escape route from doom is due, in part, to a bumbling prosecution, his relentless team of elite lawyers, a convoluted law outlining negligence and his soft brown eyes. All of this provided a diligent jury with reason to doubt the courtroom depiction of Williams as a dark criminal mind.
"He didn't have the look of a cold-blooded killer," a juror, Angela Pravata, told reporters. "I didn't see it in his eyes."
Williams didn't testify, but he didn't need to. His eyes told his story for him.
