Denver Grand Jury Hands Down Indictment in Denver Broncos Cornerback Darrent Demarcus Williams Murder Case.
Denver District Attorney Mitchell R. Morrissey and Denver Chief of Police Gerald Whitman have issued a joint press release today stating that a Denver Grand Jury has handed down a thirty-nine count indictment in the Darrent Demarcus Williams murder case. Williams- who played cornerback for the Denver Broncos and owned independent record label RYNO Entertainment- was shot and killed in a drive- by- shooting while in a rented Hummer Limousine in downtown Denver Colorado on January 1, 2007. Two other passengers in the limousine –Brandon Flowers and Nicole Reindl- also suffered injuries in the drive-by- shooting. Seventeen people were in the limousine at the time of the shooting.
The press release indicates that Willie D. Clark has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, sixteen counts of attempted first –degree murder, two counts of second-degree assault, illegal discharge of a firearm, sixteen crime of violence counts ( sentence enhancer), and two counts of possession of a weapon by a previous offender. Clark –who is presently in federal custody- faces a sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted of the charges. Clark is of course presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in a court of law.
