Denver, CO (My Sportsbook) - Willie Clark has been found guilty in the fatal drive-by shooting of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams. A Denver jury convicted Clark of the crime Thursday. He was convicted on all 21 charges, including a pair of counts of first-degree murder. The jury deliberated over a span of three days. "My family didn't win, the Clark's family didn't win," said Darrent Williams' mother, Rosalind Williams. "I lost my son, my only son and his children and his children lost their father." Clark will be sentenced April 30 and he faces life in prison for the crime that occurred in the early morning hours of January 1, 2007. Williams was 24 years old when he was shot and killed near downtown Denver mere hours after the Broncos' 2006 season came to an end. "Nothing can ever bring Darrent Williams back or ease the suffering for (his mother) Rosalind and her grandchildren," Broncos president and CEO Pat Bowlen said in a statement. "But after three long years, it is very gratifying to see closure brought to this case. This process has been extremely difficult for the Williams family, his friends and teammates, this community, and the entire Denver Broncos organization." |
