whitesoxfan99 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Actually, he can still be found guilty of reckless manslaughter which the jury hasn't reached a decision on yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I can't belioeve this s***. Let's just look at some facts...and by the way I really have not been following this so much so if I'm wrong please correct me. Fact 1: He shot the guy Fact 2: It was his gun Fact 3: He tampered with evidence Fact 4: He tampered with a witness Fact 5: He fabricated evidence How in the hell they couldn't agree on this one is beyond me.... Reckless manslaughter definition: A person is guilty of manslaughter if that person recklessly causes the death of another. Id say shooting and killing someone with your shotgun is pretty reckless...

See my above post. They haven't reached a decision on the reckless manslaughter charges yet. He was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter.

Steff Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Did you guys know about this..? Jayson shot his dog, too! But, jury won't get to hear it SOMERVILLE, N.J. - Former Nets superstar Jayson Williams has killed before - blowing the head off his own pet Rottweiler, prosecutors charged yesterday. Williams executed his dog Zeus in a fit of fury after losing a $100 bet to former teammate Dwayne Schintzius. Then Williams reloaded the double-barreled shotgun, aimed the weapon at Schintzius, and demanded, "Shinbone, get this f-----' dog off my porch or you're next," according to a sworn statement. The incident occurred Aug. 8, 2001, at Williams' estate in Alexandria Township after a night of drinking at the nearby Mountain View Chalet - the same place where he drank heavily before fatally shooting limo driver Costas (Gus) Christofi six months later, on Feb. 14, 2002. But jurors in Williams' manslaughter trial won't get to hear about Zeus; after a pretrial hearing, Judge Edward Coleman ruled testimony from Schintzius would be overly prejudicial. Schintzius told investigators the incident began when he bet Williams $100 that he could drag Zeus out of the house, despite the animal's supposed ability to respond to attack commands given in German. Assistant prosecutor Katharine Errickson said that after Schintzius, who has played for the Nets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics, dragged the dog outside by its hind legs, he demanded his payoff. Schintzius said he assumed Williams went upstairs to get the $100. Instead, Williams, 35, returned with a double-barreled shotgun, firing expansive Williams estate. In arguing to keep the testimony from the jury, which will be selected from a pool of 64 on Monday, defense attorney Joseph Hayden called the Schintzius story "highly inflammatory" and "a strategic attempt by the prosecution to smear Mr. Williams in the eyes of the jury and deny him a fair trial." Williams' father, E.J. Williams, issued a statement yesterday calling Schintzius "unstable" and branding his story "a blatant lie." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gos...7p-141641c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Actually, he can still be found guilty of reckless manslaughter which the jury hasn't reached a decision on yet. No.. it's done. No decision. No more deliberations. They have been excused from the court. The good news is that the state has made it clear they will go after him again on the reckless charge. The guys was drunk and waving a loaded gun... how is that not reckless...?? Charge 1 - Aggravated manslaughter - NOT GUILTY Charge 2 - Reckless manslaughter 2nd degree - ND Charge 3 - Possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose - NOT GUILTY Charge 4 - Aggravated assault - NOT GUILTY COUNT 5- GUILTY (ACDF) COUNT 6 -GUILTY (EGI) COUNT 7- GUILTY (D) COUNT 8- GUILTY (A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had heard they hadn't reached a decision. Well, its been proven time and time again in this country that if you have money you can get away with anything so why would this be any different.

santo=dorf Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 :fyou Justice system. I heard about him shooting his dog before too. I thought I remember hearing that he likes to play around with his guns when he gets intoxicated. :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Actually, he can still be found guilty of reckless manslaughter which the jury hasn't reached a decision on yet. How could they NOT say he was guilty of one of the manslaughters? At worst he was screwing around and shot the guy. isn't that the very definition of involuntary manslaughter?

Nope...you have to actually shoot, which winds up to kill, and then try to cover it up........................................oh wait, um, err...
