That’s Your Azz: Jayson Williams Gets 5 Years

A little more than 8 years to the day that former NBA legend Jayson Williams accidentally murked his limo driver Costas “Gus” Christofi, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison after entering a guilty plea to aggravated assault last month. Williams has been out on bail for 8 years while the slow arm of the law took it’s course and has spent a lot of that time getting it cracking and living it up, with the prison term looming on his mind like a light bill does to dudes in the hood (well at least those who don’t roll with Katt Williams).
Williams has been very apologetic about the “accidental death,” and broke bread with Christofi’s family to the tune of nearly $3 million, after settling a wrongful death suit back in 2003. Now he will be in constant fear of getting his cakes beat for at least the next 18 months, when he is eligible for parole. Hopefully Williams will serve out his time without taking the Jackson Vahue route, but he likes to get active so it may be inevitable. All we can tell Jayson is this, “do your duty, to protect your booty.”
