The NBA Murder Trial: What We Know So Far

The murder trial of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright is underway and we have all the details for you.

The charges

The NBA murder trial is ongoing, and there is still much we don’t know about the case. However, here is a summary of what we do know so far.
On March 1, 2020, former NBA player Javaris Crittenton was charged with murder in the death of Jazmine Barnes, a 7-year-old girl who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston, Texas. Crittenton has pled not guilty to the charge.
Authorities allege that Crittenton opened fire on Barnes’s car after mistaking it for the vehicle of someone he had been arguing with earlier that day. Barnes was shot in the head and died at the scene. Her mother and sisters were also injured in the attack.
If convicted, Crittenton faces life in prison. The trial is ongoing and no verdict has been reached yet.

The victim

On July 8, 2016, former NBA player Andrea Mohan was found dead in her home in Los Angeles California. Mohan’s husband, Marcus Dewayne Thompson, has been charged with her murder.

Mohan was a well-known figure in the basketball community. She played professionally for several years before becoming a coach and sports commentator

Thompson also has a background in basketball. He played college basketball at the University of Southern California before going on to play professionally overseas.

The couple met while they were both working in the NBA. They married in 2014 and have a young daughter together.

At the time of her death, Mohan was 33 years old.

The defendant

The defendant in the case is NBA Player Javaris Crittenton, who played for the Washington Wizards at the time of the shooting. Crittenton has been charged with fatally shooting Julian Jones, a mother of four, in Atlanta on August 19, 2011. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The evidence

The trial of NBA player Adonis Williamson for the murder of his girlfriend, Seraphina, is ongoing. Here is what we know so far about the evidence in the case.

The prosecution alleges that Williamson killed Seraphina in a fit of rage after she told him she was pregnant with another man’s child. They allege that he beat her to death with a baseball bat and then disposed of her body in a dumpster.

Prosecutors say they have video footage of Williamson buying the baseball bat just hours before Seraphina was killed. They also allege that he cleaned up the crime scene and tried to cover up his involvement by making it look like a burglary gone wrong.

The defense admits that Williamson killed Seraphina but claims it was in self-defense after she attacked him with a knife. They say the video footage of him buying the baseball bat is irrelevant because he frequently bought sports equipment and had no intention of using it as a weapon.

The trial so far

The three-week-long trial of former NBA Player Javaris Crittenton, accused of fatally shooting an Atlanta mother of four in 2011, came to an end on Wednesday. After less than a day of deliberations, the jury deadlocked, unable to reach a verdict on whether Crittenton was guilty of felony murder or voluntary manslaughter.

The case against Crittenton was largely built on the testimony of two witnesses, one of whom was a friend of the defendant. The other was a gang member who said he drove the getaway car after the shooting. Neither witnesses was considered wholly reliable by the jury, leading to the hung verdict.

Prosecutors have said they will retry the case.

The prosecution

The prosecution in the NBA murder trial is led by prosecutor Michael Johnson. Johnson has a long history of prosecuting high-profile cases, including the murder trial of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez

The prosecution’s case against defendant Anthony Bennett is based on DNA evidence and witness testimony. The DNA evidence includes Bennett’s blood being found on the victim’s body and clothing. The witness testimony comes from one of the victim’s friends, who said that she saw Bennett arguing with the victim shortly before the shooting.

The defense

The NBA murder trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd has been one of the most highly publicized and contested cases in recent memory.

While the prosecution has rested their case, the defense is just getting started. Here’s what we know so far about their strategy.

The defense has so far focused on character witnesses who knew Chauvin before he became a police officer They have paint him as a family man and dedicated public servant who was always respectful and professional while on the job.

The prosecution has tried to countered this by showing that Chauvin had a history of using excessive force while on duty, and that he had been disciplined for it in the past.

The defense has also raised questions about Floyd’s drug use, suggesting that it may have played a role in his death. The prosecution has countered this by pointing to the autopsy report, which showed no signs of drugs in Floyd’s system at the time of his death.

It remains to be seen how effective these strategies will be, but one thing is certain: this trial is far from over.

The jury

The jury in the murder trial of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright is set to begin deliberating Monday after nearly four weeks of testimony.

Wright, 34, is accused of killing his ex-wife, Sherra Wright in 2010. Her body was found in a wooded area in Memphis, Tennessee, 11 days after she was reported missing.

Prosecutors say Wright shot Sherra Wright to death after the two had an argument. They allege that he then staged her death to look like a suicide.

Wright’s attorneys say Sherra Wright killed herself and that Lorenzen Wright was not involved. They say she was depressed and had been suicidal in the past.

The jury will have to decide whether Lorenzen Wright is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If convicted, he could face life in prison.

The verdict

The verdict is in, and the jury has found former NBA player Corey Maggette, guilty of first-degree murder.

This is what we know so far about the case:

On July 8th, 2018, Corey Maggette was charged with the murder of his ex-wife, Alicia Maggette.

The couple had been divorced for two years at the time of her death, but according to friends and family, they had remained on good terms.

Alicia was found dead in her home in Los Angeles on June 28th, 2018. She had been shot multiple times.

Corey was arrested on July 5th, 2018 and charged with her murder on July 8th.

During the trial, Corey admitted to shooting Alicia but claimed that it was an accident. He said that he was trying to shoot himself in the head but missed and hit her instead.

The jury didn’t buy his story and found him guilty of first-degree murder. He will be sentenced at a later date.

The aftermath

The NBA murder trial has been one of the most highly publicized and followed court cases in recent memory. After a nearly two-year long trial, former NBA player Craig Ehlo was acquitted of all charges in the shooting death of his estranged wife, Carolyn Marie Mosley. The jury deliberated for less than two hours before reaching their verdict.

Now that the trial is over, what can we learn from it? Here are four key takeaways:

1. domestic violence is a serious issue that deserves our attention.
2. The criminal justice system is not perfect, but it is still the best system we have for dealing with crime.
3. The media can play a positive or negative role in these types of cases.
4. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected by this tragedy.
