Ex-Purdue Football Player on Trial in 2 Purdue Attacks

Jury selection has begun in the trial of an ex-Purdue University football player accused of attacking two woman in separate incidents on the same night in 2005.

Kyle D. Williams, who was no longer a member of the football team at the time of the attacks but still a Purdue student, first attacked a woman on around 8:45 p.m. on Nov. 29, 2005 in the parking lot of Delta Zeta sorority. She was found unconscious by a Delta Zeta sister who had come to let her into the house.

Court documents said the woman had a broken nose, busted teeth and a black eye. Around 10:30 p.m., police said Williams struck a different woman from behind and punched her in the face several times. She also suffered similar injuries.
