on Interstate 5 about 20 miles south of
Portland after a confrontation with the
driver of the other car, police said at
the time.
Williams, of Los Banos, Calif.,
was pronounced dead at the scene of
the accident.
Jurors in Clackamas County have
been reviewing evidence in the case
and hearing testimony for the past
two weeks.
“The grand jury deliberated
and decided there was not sufficient
evidence to find either driver
criminally liable in this case,”
Clackamas County Deputy District
Attorney Brian Brock said.
The pickup was driven by
Williams’ uncle, 40-year-old Michael
Keyes of Harrisburg, Ore., a former
football player at Oregon State.
Keyes and Jason Williams, Justin’s
brother, were taken to Portland
area hospitals with minor injuries
after the accident.
Timothy Senske, 27, the driver
of the other vehicle, and his
passenger, Sonjulaine Jurasz, 34,
were uninjured.
Williams, who majored in
business management, was expected
to compete for playing time this
fall. He was listed third on the depth
chart at right cornerback at the start
of spring practice.
Williams lettered and started
three years at wide receiver and
cornerback for the Los Banos
High School Tigers, and was the
team’s most valuable player during
his senior year.
Court to issue ruling
on state pension plan
SALEM — The Oregon Supreme
Court will issue an eagerly awaited rul
ing today on the legality of the Legisla
ture’s cost-cutting reforms to the public
employees’ pension plan.
The changes pared back
payouts for the state’s 300,000
active and retired government
workers, including teachers.
The implications of the court’s
decision are huge both for public
employees and for state and
local governments that pay into
the Oregon Public Employees
Retirement System.
The 2003 Legislature passed the re
forms at the urging of Democratic
Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who said
the changes were needed to avert a
deficit once estimated to be as high
as $17 billion.
But union officials who filed
the lawsuit challenging the PERS
reforms contended the changes
were unconstitutional because they
violated workers’ contract rights.
Further, union officials said the
legislative changes could reduce
public employees’ pensions by as
much as one-third for employees
in mid-career.
