Juan Uribe (via ESPN Deportes)
"This Monday will be key in the case because the accuser is going to present the alleged witnesses against me. I'm innocent, so I'm sure that nobody can testify that they saw me in an event where I wasn't present...
"When [it] all happened, I was at home talking to my father. There are a bunch of people that can corroborate my version. Nobody saw me [at] that place during the shooting...
"Better yet, the Dominican police found out that my gun was not discharged, and the paraffin tests on me were also negative...
"I'm innocent and I will prove that in court. I hope that this can be solved very soon to [clear] my name, and my family can relax."
Update [2007-1-7 0:9:18 by The Cheat]: Williams sounds similarly cautious, going so far as to say that should Uribe be unable to play, the shortstop job is Cintron's.
