Twenty years ago, in 1992, Damien “Football” Williams’ name was all over the news. The 18 year old was caught on video tape attacking a white trucker, during the LA race riots.

Williams was identified from computer enhancement of the videotape that revealed a unique tattoo. Williams was charged with attempted murder as well as assault and mayhem.  In 1993, Williams was convicted of mayhem and misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 10 years. In 1997, Williams was released for good behavior, but in 2003, he was convicted for the 2000 murder of a drug dealer. He will not be eligible for parole until 2019.

A reformed man, Williams spoke to Eurweb about his life, the future of our children and what regrets he may or may not have.
