The investigation into Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has concluded, and a stunning statement has been released

The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has ended its investigation against Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, announcing that no concealed weapons charges would be filed against him following a traffic check on October 8. The probe has been the subject of much conjecture, but it has finally officially concluded.

Prosecutor Kym Worthy stated that the judgment was taken after a comprehensive and objective evaluation of the facts of the case. Worthy stressed that the inquiry did not consider Jameon Williams’ status as a professional athlete, reiterating that all conclusions were made entirely on the facts and the law. Here’s the complete statement from Kym Worthy:

“We have looked at this case thoroughly and objectively. We did not consider that Mr. Williams is a Detroit professional athlete in our decision making. We have charged Detroit area athletes before and would not have hesitated to do so again if the facts of this case could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. When it comes to charging decisions, we do not take into consideration who the potential defendant is, how much power and influence they have, or how beloved they may be. We deal with the facts and the law only.”

Further Clarification on the Jameson Williams Case

While the case has been resolved, Prosecutor Kym Worthy also offered further clarification about the legal complexities involved:

“While no case has identical facts, we can look at similar facts, if possible, to aid us in our decision making. We really could not recall any case that had facts that mirrored this case. Every case is fact specific. As always, we apply the alleged facts to the existing law. And the applicable law and its accompanying legislative history is far from clear.”

“We had a team of experienced lawyers look at this case – as we often do – especially when the law is unclear or unsettled. We all agreed that this decision is the right and just one. And I am personally certain that the right decision has been made with these specific and unique set of facts.”

Worthy also addressed the issue of control over the firearm in this specific case, stating:

“The CPL holder here was the driver and had care, custody, and control of the car. Guidance is needed for the future on how many weapons can a valid CPL say that they have control over? Despite all of this, if Mr. Williams had the gun on his person, he would have been charged.”

Looking Ahead

In closing, Worthy urged Michigan lawmakers to provide further guidance on these types of legal matters:

“I urge the legislature to immediately look closely at this law so that the prosecutors in Michigan can have steady and meaningful guidance in the future,” said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.

With this legal problem resolved, Jameson Williams can refocus on his football career, while the Lions continue to strive for success in the 2024 season.
