A prosecutor said Darrent Williams was the innocent victim of a gang member angry because he was sprayed with champagne and feeling disrespected over being manhandled by Williams' teammate, current Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall.
"In a world of Denver street gangs, in a world of Tre Tre Crips, if you are disrespected, you have a right to take an innocent life," prosecutor Bruce Levin told jurors during his opening statement.
The argument began inside the club after Brandon Marshall's cousin Blair Clark sprayed champagne on a group of gang members.
