Trial for alleged Jags player shooter

The attorney for the man accused of shooting and paralyzing Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard Collier last year is expected to tell jurors that others also had a motive to pull the trigger and that her client is innocent.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in the trial of Tyrone Romero Hartsfield. The 33-year-old ex-convict accused Collier of beating him up at a nightclub five months before the September 2008 shooting.

Collier was shot numerous times as he sat inside his luxury SUV at an apartment complex.

Collier was left paralyzed from the waist down and his lower left leg was amputated.

Defense attorney Ann Finnell says several people had a motive to shoot Collier, but she has declined to elaborate.
