SOMERVILLE, N.J., Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Former NBA star Jayson Williams said he wants his lawyers to continue representing him in a manslaughter case in Somerset County, N.J.
While Williams' lawyers have asked to be withdrawn from the former basketball player's case, Williams told Somerset County Judge Edward Coleman the attorneys should continue to represent him based on the money he has already paid them, The New York Post said Thursday.
Williams' attorneys maintain they have had difficulties communicating with the former New Jersey Nets player.
Coleman has yet to rule on the lawyers' request and has scheduled a hearing to discuss the issue further on Jan. 11.
The Post said Williams, 41, is set to be retried on manslaughter charges for the death of limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi. Williams is accused of accidentally shooting Christofi with a shotgun at the basketball player's home in Alexandria Township, N.J., in February 2002.
