DJ Williams may be asked to testify

Broncos stars Brandon Marshall, Elvis Dumervil and D.J. Williams could be called to testify for the defense in the murder trial of Willie Clark, the man accused of killing Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams on Jan. 1, 2007.

Jury selection for Clark's trial is scheduled for Monday, with the trial expected to begin Tuesday. The trial likely will last at least two weeks.
The three current Broncos are among 61 names on the witness list provided to Denver District Court by defense attorney Abraham Hutt. Four former Broncos — Javon Walker, Karl Paymah, Nate Webster and Demetrin Veal — also could be called to testify. All were Darrent Williams' teammates during the 2006 season.

Judge Christina Habas will not allow NFL players who testify to wear any sort of championship rings on the witness stand, and no one in the courtroom will be allowed to wear team jerseys or other paraphernalia.

Darrent Williams, 24, was killed after an altercation at a New Year's Eve party at a Denver nightclub. The limo in which Williams and others, including Walker, were riding was sprayed with bullets on Speer Boulevard near downtown. Williams died from a bullet wound to the neck.

Clark has told The Denver Post he is innocent.
