Jayson Williams' Jury Might Partially Hang
by TChris
The jury deciding the fate of former NBA player and analyst Jayson Williams advised the court that it has agreed on six of eight charges, but cannot reach a unanimous verdict on the rest. The jury may be finding it difficult to decide on the two most serious charges -- aggravated and reckless manslaughter -- after agreeing that Williams committed less serious crimes as he tried to cover up his role in the shooting of driver Costas "Gus" Christofi.
Judge Edward Coleman instructed the jurors to continue their effort to reach a verdict on all counts. The jurors will enter their third day of deliberations tomorrow. TalkLeft background on the case is here and here.
