    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SOMERVILLE, N.J. -- Once a fierce NBA rebounder and wisecracking TV commentator, Jayson Williams is now a defendant who hopes to avoid a long prison sentence in the shooting death of a limo driver.

    Jayson Williams, at his arraignment in June 2002, now awaits jury selection.
    Jury selection from an expected pool of 300 begins Tuesday and might last until the end of the month. The manslaughter trial was moved to a neighboring county because of publicity.

    The 35-year-old Williams has been free on bail. His lawyers maintain the fatal shooting at his estate nearly two years ago was accidental.

    Williams, a former All-Star center for the New Jersey Nets, is accused of shooting the driver, then trying to cover it up. Manslaughter and witness tampering are among the seven charges that could carry up to 55 years in prison.

    Its truly sad to see what has happened with the whole J.Will situation. Every about this the death of the limo driver, the possible coviction of J.Will. He a stupid mistake that he will have to live with for the rest of his life. Even tho he made that stupid mistake, I still will wish J.Will the best of luck finding peace within himself. Because I know its kind of hard dealing with the fact that you cost a person life by acting foolish.

    It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't lied and tried to cover it all up. That's what gonna come back and bite him in the ass over all this stuff.
