Jayson Williams Expected To Plead Guilty In 2002 Shooting

Former Nets star Jayson Williams is expected to plead guilty to manslaughter charges for the 2002 shooting of his limousine driver. According to the Star-Ledger, his sentence, in a deal with prosecutors, would be 18 months. Williams was previously convicted of charges related to covering up the shooting (and acquitted of aggravated manslaughter), but was facing a retrial on reckless manslaughter charges; if convicted of reckless manslaughter, he could have faced up to 10 years in prison. Williams shot Costas "Gus" Christofi in his NJ mansion when he was showing friends a shotgun.
