DENVER (AP) -A man accused of firing the shots that killed Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams says he won’t testify on his own behalf, citing threats against him and his family.
Willie Clark told Denver District Judge Christina Habas on Monday he would like to testify but he fears for his and his family’s safety. His defense attorney says gang members threatened to turn Clark into “Swiss cheese.”
Clark faces first-degree murder and other charges. Clark maintains he is innocent.
Also Monday, a man who investigators say was with Clark during the shooting refused to testify.
Williams was in a limousine with other football players when he was shot on New Year’s Day 2007. They had just left a nightclub where prosecutors say Williams’ group got into an altercation with a group that included Clark.
