Defendant Willie Clark was taken to the courtroom Thursday to hear thedecision.

Williams was killed on New Year’s Day 2007.

Prosecutors say Clark fired the fatal shots from an SUV that pulled upbeside a rented limo carrying Williams and some friends.

Defense attorneys say Clark is a scapegoat who wasn’t even in the SUV.

Prosecutors say Clark was angry over an altercation between two groups in anightclub just before the shooting.
