Former NBA Baller Williams Avoids Major Prison Time
Posted by Stephen Rhodes under NBA News, NBA Off The Court Issues

After eight years, many witnesses and enough lawyering to make Perry Mason cringe, the Jayson Williams case has finally reached a resolution. And compared to many cases like this one, let’s just say that Williams truly lucked out as according to the Associated Press, Williams has cut a plea deal which will send him to prison for up to three years for accidentally shooting a driver at his New Jersey estate back in 2002; this has been confirmed by a source with knowledge of the case.
The “source” also said that Williams will plead guilty to aggravated assault on Friday; because a gun was involved, Williams will be required to serve at least 18 months in prison. Williams, prior to this plea deal, was to face a retrial in January 2010 on reckless manslaughter count.
