William Williams, 22, faced trial in Staten
Island on a second-degree murder rap and, if convicted, a
potential prison sentence of 25 years to life. He instead pleaded guilty to
first-degree manslaughter.
The 32-year-old disc jockey, aka Corey McGriff, was a former
radio personality on Hot 97 and a regular on BET’s “106 & Park.”
Megatron was about a block from his Stapleton home when he
was slain in March 2011. Williams and an accomplice, Richard Cromwell, had been
stalking him, seeing the rising star in the hip hop world as a good mark,
prosecutors said.
When they made their move, Williams blasted Megatron, and
the duo made off with a wad of the deejay’s cash and a wristwatch given to him
by his daughter, then just 11 years-old.
