AP Source: Jayson Williams Taking Deal In Shooting
TRENTON, N.J. ? Retired NBA star Jayson Williams has agreed to a plea deal that would send him to prison for up to three years for accidentally shooting a driver at his New Jersey estate in 2002, a person with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Williams, who retired in 2000 after playing nine seasons in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets, was to face a retrial in January on a reckless manslaughter count.

The person, who was not authorized to speak about the case, told the AP on condition of anonymity that Williams is to plead guilty Friday to aggravated assault. Because a gun was used in the crime, Williams must serve at least 18 months in prison, the person said.

7 fucking years later he gets 18 months!!
I mean, I actually kinda liked this guy from MTV Cribs, etc. but damn if my middle class ass wouldn't have been sitting in jail for a couple months until a sentence of 10-15 was handed down for negligent homicide and obstruction of justice.

On another note - this' some real life OZ shit - I picture Rick Fox strolling into Em City - too bad that's not closer to reality for the family of dude he killed.
