DENVER -- A defense attorney grilled a woman Wednesday about whether Broncos star Brandon Marshall groped her at the Safari club the night teammate Darrent Williams was shot dead.

The witness, Raven Dennis, denied identifying the groper as Marshall in her video testimony played for the jury in the trial of a man accused of killing Williams early on New Year's Day 2007. Denver District Judge Christina Habas simply told the jury that Dennis was unavailable to testify in person.

“Do you remember telling Detective Martinez that the guy who groped you was Brandon Marshall?” defense attorney Abe Hutt asked Dennis in the video.

“I don’t know who these sports people are,” the young women replied. “I couldn’t even tell you what Brandon Marshall looks like today.”

Hutt then showed Dennis a transcript of pretrial testimony by Detective Michael Martinez who said she identified the star wide receiver as the man who stuck his hand down the back of her pants at the Safari club on New Year’s Eve 2007.

“I have no clue,” Dennis insisted. “I just know that it was a big tall dude who stuck his hand down the back of my pants.” She said she told police she didn’t want to press charges against the groper, whom she described as being "huge," standing about 6-foot-3.

Marshall is 6-foot-4.

The groping incident is significant, because Dennis said after she confronted the groper outside the club, a fight broke out between three men who called themselves Georgia boys and a group that included Marshall who exited a white Hummer stretch limousine.

Prosecutors have said the Georgia boy trio included gang member Willie D. Clark, the man accused of killing Williams.

Williams, Marshall and then-teammate Javon Walker were celebrating in the limo that night after leaving the club. The 26-year-old Clark is accused of spraying the limo with gunfire, killing the popular cornerback and wounding two other passengers.

Prosecutors said the confrontation was fueled when Marshall’s cousin, Blair Clark, sprayed champagne on the gang members in the club. During the closing-time clash outside, authorities said Marshall “palmed” the head of the smaller Clark, humiliating him in front of fellow gang members.

Dennis said when she heard news reports of killing of the Bronco player as he rode in the limo, she placed an anonymous call to the Crime Stoppers police tip-line.

“I felt bad, because I thought that maybe it had something to do with me,” said Dennis, adding that she wondered if the dispute between her and the man who groped her had triggered the shooting.

Earlier Wednesday, Dennis’s girlfriend Tyisha Finch said a man with big sunglasses, punched her during a dispute in the club. Prosecutors say Clark is the man who was wearing the big sunglasses and a camouflage coat.

The “Georgia boy” with the big glasses later apologized to Finch and appeared to threaten the tall man who groped Dennis when she confronted him outside.

The man “put his hand in his pocket and said: ‘That’s the wrong move. You may not want to do that,’ ” apparently warning the tall groper that he had a gun in his pocket, Finch recalled.

“He put his hand in his pocket, that can only mean a gun,” Finch said.

In critical testimony, Dennis placed Clark in the front passenger seat of a white Chevrolet Tahoe from which authorities said Clark fired the deadly shots at the stretch limo.

“I saw the guy with the big glasses in the passenger seat,” Dennis testified.

Dennis said she was arm’s length from the passenger door of the white SUV as it was parked outside the nightclub. She added that she chatted with Clark through a half-opened window about where they were going next.

But during cross-examination, defense attorney Hutt pointed out that she told police that she “happened to glance up” and see Clark.

Hutt then got Dennis to admit that she was drunk that night and had downed eight to nine shots of gin. She admitted being “oblivious” to some events that occurred outside the club that night when she supposedly identified Clark in the white SUV.

“You had been drinking shots of gins that night -- eight or nine shots of gin?” Hutt asked.

“Yes,” Dennis admitted.

“You’re so drunk that when your friend Tyisha said that someone had punched her in the face, you wanted to look for the guy to fight right?” the defense attorney pressed the witness.

“No. To confront the person, yes,” Dennis said.

Then Hutt played a video of her interview with Detective Martinez where she said: “Because I was drunk, so I was going to go punch him back in the face,” referring to the man with the big sunglasses who had punched her girlfriend.

Both Dennis and Finch said they had vague memories of events that occurred three years ago – and fear about testifying in an alleged gang killing.

“I don’t want to be involved in stuff like, this I’ve got family to protect,” Finch said, when asked by a prosecutor why she was reluctant to talk with police.

“I don’t have time to deal with what other people do about colors,” Finch said in a reference to street gang disputes.

It’s not an unwarranted concern.

Willie Clark and two other member face another trial this later this year on charges they conspired in the 2006 killing of woman named Kalonniann Clark, days before she was to testify that one the men tried to kill her outside a nightclub a year earlier.

Earlier Wednesday, two men were ordered jailed for contempt of court for refusing to testify on the second day the trial.

Prosecutors believe Kataina "Markie" Jackson-Keeling and Mario Anderson were in the SUV driven by Clarke when he allegedly opened fire on a Hummer H2 stretch limousine carrying Williams, several other Broncos players and their guests from a party at a Denver club.

Both men were previously indicted for perjury after prosecutors alleged they lied to police detectives and a grand jury investigating the case when they said they weren't in the vehicle that Clark was in at the time of the shooting.

Judge Christina Habas asked both men if they were ready to testify during the trial.

Jackson-Keeling said. “No, your honor.”

Anderson said, “No ma’am.”

Habas ordered them to jail and said she would call them back each day to see if they would testify.

Prosecutors believe Clark, 26, was the lone gunman who used two weapons to fire a spray of bullets at the stretch limo heading north on Speer Boulevard as it approached 11th Avenue. Williams, 24, died quickly from a single bullet wound to his neck.

The first witness called to the stand Wednesday was Tyisha Finch.

The Aurora woman recalled how a man who called himself a "Georgia boy" punched her at the Safari Club on Broadway in Denver on New Year’s Eve night in 2007.

A prosecutor earlier said that the man who punched Tyisha Finch was Willie Clark, the man accused of gunning down Williams.

Finch, 25, testified that a dispute occurred early in the evening on the club’s second-floor hallway when a man dropped a cell phone and Finch’s sister bent over to pick it up for him.

As the sister backed up to pick up the phone, she bumped into a black man in sunglasses and a camouflage Army jacket.

She said the man, identified by a prosecutor as Clark, took offense and started shouting that he and his two male companions were "Georgia boys" and he was going to shove Finch’s sister down.

Finch said she shouted back at that man: "You’re not going to push my sister."

"The Georgia boy ‘snuck’ me," she said, explaining, "He hit me in the jaw (with) his fist," she said. "My dad grabbed him and pinned his a-- on the wall."

The dispute blew over and Finch said she and her group walked away.

Just after 2 a.m., Finch said a bunch of men piled out of the white stretch limousine parked in front of the club and started fighting.

The implication appears to be that the three "Georgia boys" were the gang members who got in a confrontation with Brandon Marshall and his cousin, who had angered Clark by spraying him with champagne earlier.

Marshall, a 6-foot-4 star receiver, apparently "palmed" the head of the smaller Clark and prosecutors said this was what triggered the revenge shooting.

A security video of the scene outside the club at closing time was repeatedly played for Finch and the jury. It showed people milling around on the snowy sidewalk and the white limo parked with its engine idling.

The confrontation between Marshall and the gang member cannot be seen.

But at one point, defense attorney Abe Hutt pointed to a "tall athlete" wearing a white cap who walked toward the front of the limo, then turned back to raise his hand at someone.

"He raises his hand kind of like he’s flipping someone off and then goes over the snow bank ," Hutt told Finch.

Suddenly, the tall athlete runs past the back of the limo up to a knot of people standing. Whatever happened after that was not in view of the camera.
