Jayson Williams Verdict
I have not followed the Jayson Williams trial at all. My only familiarity with it is what I’ve heard on the news.
But this article about the verdict, made me laugh.
According to testimony, Williams, who had a skeet-shooting range on his 65-acre estate, took a loaded shotgun from a cabinet in the master bedroom. According to witnesses, he turned, uttered an expletive at [Costas] Christofi, possibly in jest, and then snapped the weapon shut, and it went off.
Christofi was struck in the chest and died within minutes. Williams dropped to his knees and wailed, “Oh my God! Oh my God!??? and “My life is over,??? according to witnesses.
Witnesses testified that Williams wiped the gun down and then put it in Christofi’s hands. The former basketball pro stripped naked, pushed his clothes into the arms of a friend, told him to get rid of them, and took a swim in his indoor pool before police arrived.
What struck me as kind of funny was that Williams thought his life was over.
The evidence in front of his eyes pretty clearly indicated it was Mr. Christofi’s life that was over.
Some people just can’t see for lookin’.
