The family of Costas Christofi has finally been granted closure after a long and drawn out ordeal involving Ex-NBA player Jayson Williams.

As many of you may recall, Jayson Williams is the fool who “accidentally” shot his limo driver then tried to cover it up to make it look like he killed himself and that Chritofi was actually playing with the gun when it went off.  Even went further by trying to get his friends and the witnesses of the tragic events to lie for him and say that Christofi committed suicide.   Thankfully, his friends didn’t comply and they actually testified against him in court.

Jayson Williams has finally been sentenced for this crime to do at least 18 months in the state pen.  Go figure.  Plaxico Burress shoots himself and gets at least 2 years in prison whereas Jayson Williams murders man and gets a year and a half.
