Jayson Williams, a former NBA star, was sentenced to 5 years in prison for the killing of his limo driver, Costas Christofi, and will be available for parole after 18 months.
"To my family, please forgive me for the pain I've caused you," Williams said Tuesday as he read from a statement. "You deserve a better father, a better brother and son than I have been. I am not a bad man, but I acted badly on Feb. 14. I will work endlessly to improve myself and make positive contributions to society."
Williams inadvertently killed his limo driver last 2002 while showing off his set of guns to his friends.
As an NBA player, he played nine seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets before a leg injury forced him to retire in 2000. He was in the second year of a six-year, $86 million contract.
