Clark Guilty In Darrent Williams Murder

((HT: KUSA-TV Denver))

Suspected Eastside Tre Tre Crips ((CO)) gang member Willie Clark has been found guilty of murder in the shooting death of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.

A Denver jury returned the verdict after deliberating for a day and a half.

Williams was killed on New Year's Day 2007.

Prosecutors said Clark fired the shots that killed Williams from an SUV that pulled up beside the limo carrying Williams, friends, and teammates. Prosecutors also maintain Clark was angry over an altercation involving his friends and Williams' friends inside and outside the Safari nightclub in downtown Denver.

Defense attorneys said Clark was being made a scapegoat and wasn't in the SUV.

Clark is now guilty of all 21 counts against him including first-degree murder/extreme indifference, first-degree murder/after deliberation and attempted first-degree murder.

The world isn't done with Clark.

Denver prosecutors have also charged him with first-degree murder in the death of a woman, Kalonniann Clark ((no relation)) who was about to testify in an attempted murder case.

He faces life in prison in that case if convicted at that trial.

KCNC-TV's Jennifer Miller was outside the courtroom...
