Javaris Crittenton never had a chance to establish a reputation in the NBA before he became notorious. He was the other, seemingly insignificant half in one of the most embarassing incidents the Wizards franchise has had to face. Crittenton was an injured, undistinguished player buried on the Wizards’ bench when he got caught up in the infamous locker-room gun incident with Gilbert Arenas in December 2009 — a situation that led to both players getting suspended from the league for the rest of the season, Arenas spending time in a halfway house, and Crittenton pleading guilty a misdemeanor gun charge and a year of probation.
Now, nearly 19 months after he pleaded guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm, Crittenton faces a homicide charge in the death of Jullian Jones, a mother of four. Atlanta police allege that Crittenton fired gunshots from a black Chevy Tahoe. Jones, whose age has been reported either 22 or 23, was struck in the leg and later died during surgery, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Let's face the reality of this situation. Javaris Crittenton is a moron and a punk. When you're a GT basketball star, a first round draft pick in the NBA, and you make millions, how hard can it be to stay away from guns and violence. Enjoy about 20 years in the clink, Javaris. Other than the mother of four that lost her life senselessly, the other sad part of this story is that because of his money, he'll plead out of the death penalty. I love the State using my money to keep useless human beings like this alive in jail for 20+ years.
