Former NBA player Jayson Williams found not guilty of aggravated manslaughter; guilty of tampering, other charges. Details soon.
- The Sleeper - 04-30-2004
The jury was hung on reckless manslaughter and the DA might retry him for that. The tampering charges probably won't get him any jail time.
- Keyser Soze - 04-30-2004
how do they find him guilty on tampering a weapon used in a crime he was aquitted of commiting?

Quote:Investigators are also exploring whether Williams allowed Christofi to bleed to death before notifying authorities. If so, Williams could face additional or more severe charges.this was from an article from around when he gave himself in. maybe because he let him bleed thats a different charge as well?
i haven't been following it really, so i don't know any specifics

i dont get it. he killed someone, but was only convicted of covering up the fact he killed them?

He sees a dude in his place, he kills him in defense, and then what happens after you kill someone? You start to fuck things up, because you've never killed a dude beforel
- Goatweed - 05-01-2004
he's guilty as sin - this is a sham.
I hope he gets shot.

I better get my traffic ticket money ready now.

Trilals and jurys are a waste of time. What happenes between two people is their business.

Keyser Soze Wrote:i dont get it. he killed someone, but was only convicted of covering up the fact he killed them?cause it was ruled an accident. he was drunk at the time and the gun went off because he was waving it around and closed it. that being said, he still hasn't been acquitted of reckless manslaughter and i think he is guilty of that. it's the equavilant of killing a guy from drunk driving.
- HedCold - 05-01-2004
he was drunk when it happened? i didn't know that
if he doesn't do at least 5 years for this it'll be fucked up
- The Sleeper - 05-01-2004
yea no one including the defense is denying he did it. they just claimed it was completely accidental.
- HedCold - 05-01-2004
i know that, but i didn't know he was drunk. i think it was probably accidental too, but if it happened to anyone else they'd be in jail, especialy if they were drunk when it happened
- The Sleeper - 05-01-2004
yup, but he's rich and hired the best lawyers.
- HedCold - 05-01-2004
i actually felt bad for him because he always seemed like a nice guy and stuff, but now knowing that he was drunk i don't feel nearly as bad
- The Jays - 05-01-2004
So if you kill a man for trespassing, its defense, but if you happen to be drunk when he trespasses, you should go to jail.
- The Sleeper - 05-01-2004
he wasn't tresspassing, he was his limo driver.
- HedCold - 05-01-2004
wasn't he giving the guy a tour of his house?
