DENVER -- Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams trial on driving under the influence and traffic charges ended in a mistrial just hours after it began Monday after his lawyer objected to how jurors were selected. Williams lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, asked for the mistrial Monday just before opening statements were about to begin. He said he was only able to excuse two jurors instead of the three he was entitled to during jury selection. Judge Andre L. Rudolph granted the request and scheduled another trial on the misdemeanour charges for Aug. 15. Afterward, Rudolph declined requests to comment on what went wrong. Steinberg said he told Rudolph about the problem after jurors were selected. "Its a mistake in the math," Steinberg said. Prosecutor Brian Dunn objected to a mistrial being called. He left without commenting, referring questions to the Denver District Attorneys Office. A spokeswoman didnt immediately return a call. A jury of three men and three women, ranging in age from 20 to 61, were seated after questioning in the morning. A lunch recess was called and opening statements were scheduled to begin after the break. Williams trial has already been delayed several times, including last fall after he suffered a dislocated right elbow during a game. He faces a multiple-game suspension from the league because it was his second such arrest in his seven seasons in Denver. The Broncos stripped him of his captains title shortly after his arrest on Nov. 12, 2010. Police say he was pulled over a little before 3 a.m., when he was spotted driving his car without headlights. He was cited with DUI and taken to a detox facility. He was fined an undisclosed amount by the team. Discount Michael Kors Handbags .

Nikola Pekovic scored 20 points before leaving with an injury and the short-handed Timberwolves beat the Dallas Mavericks 90-82 on Monday night. The Timberwolves dressed only 10 players. The 6-foot-11 Pekovic, the teams leading scorer, became the latest Minnesota player to get hurt when he exited late in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle and didnt return. Even with the rash of injuries and the lineup in a state of flux, the one constant all season has been Minnesotas defence -- which entered fifth in the NBA in points allowed. The Mavericks shot a season-low 36.3 per cent and never led after the opening 3 minutes. "I credit our character," Minnesota forward Andrei Kirilenko said. "Nobody really looks down and nobody feels sorry. Everybody just keeps coming out and trying to give their best. I think as a team, we played good team defence." Minnesota stars Kevin Love (broken right hand) and Ricky Rubio (torn left ACL) have yet to play this season. On Sunday, the Timberwolves announced Chase Budinger will have surgery for a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee, an injury he sustained while filling in for Brandon Roy on Saturday night. Roy missed his second game Monday with a sore right knee. Former Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (left foot sprain) did not travel with Minnesota and missed his third straight game. Pekovic then turned his ankle when he stepped on the foot of Dallas guard Vince Carter running down the court with 2:46 left in the third. Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said he didnt think Pekovics injury was serious. "I dont know when its going to stop," Adelman said. "Hopefully we can get some guys back and maintain the same energy level weve had." Minnesotas energy was evident from the start as it held Dallas to 17 points in the first quarter. The Mavericks missed 13 of their final 15 shots in the first quarter and then misfired on their first four attempts in the second. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle was ejected after arguing a foul call with 5 minutes left. Assistant coach Jim OBrien coached the team the rest of the way. After a 4-1 sttart, the Mavericks have lost three in a row.dddddddddddd "We got carved up in the second half," Carlisle said. "Our effort wasnt where it needed to be. I thought we tried hard in the second half and the results were still not good." Darren Collison had 21 points and O.J. Mayo added 18 for the Mavericks, who lost at home for the first time in four games. Pekovic went 8 of 13 from the floor. Kirilenko and Alexey Shved each had 16 points for Minnesota. Even with all the injuries, the Timberwolves (5-2) are off to their best start since 2001-02. "Pretty gutsy performance by us," Minnesota guard Luke Ridnour said. "Everyone that came on the court for us just contributed." Minnesota led by six at halftime and pushed its advantage to 64-51 on Kirilenkos dunk with 3:52 left in the third. Pekovic went down to the floor just more than a minute later and was helped off the court by a trainer. Dallas was within 76-68 in the fourth when Carlisle was ejected. The coach stormed toward halfcourt after a shooting foul was called on Mayo, and official Jason Phillips quickly gave Carlisle consecutive technicals. The Timberwolves went on a 9-4 run over the next 1:37, capped by Shveds 3-pointers that gave Minnesota an 85-72 lead. Dallas cut its deficit to 85-78, but Minnesota went 5 of 6 on free throws in the final minute to put the game away. "Its not the end of the world," Mayo said. "But at the same time, we have to get back to getting better." Ridnour had 15 points and eight assists, and reserve Dante Cunningham chipped in 14 points for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves capitalized on Dallas offensive struggles as Cunningham broke free for an easy dunk, putting Minnesota up 29-17 early in the second. The Mavericks cut into Minnesotas lead late in the first half. They hit their final three shots to get within 45-39 at halftime. NOTES: Dallas All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki said during an in-game television interview that his rehab from right knee surgery is going slower than he expected. He offered no timeframe for his return. Nowitzki is about halfway through the expected six-week recovery process. ... Minnesota won for only the fourth time in its last 23 games against the Mavericks. cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
