    Domestic violence is a sad story.

    Also, your thread title had me freaking a bit. LL's music was a part of my childhood.

    WTF does this mean? What could he have lied about that would be worthy of termination?

    This has Mafia written all over it. Maybe he didn't make the calls the mob wanted and they murdered his wife and made his death look like a suicide.

    On his resume, he put that he was in the Air Force and had played on Colorado's national championship football team way back.

    Most likely it was just another OJ situation

    Just like 99% of other domestic violence cases that end up in murder-suicide.

    I've never heard of him. However seeing that he was an NBA ref... a part of me dislike him.

    Yeah, so you can't see much evidence of the effort he puts in just by reading the police report. Stats aren't everything.

    This Constable Tim Holifield sounds like the real deal. I'm sure that crime scene is pristine.

    Exactly, why else do you think they haven't link it back to Battier yet?

    sounds crazy but crazier things have turned out to be true.

    the dude lied to get the job... odds are that he wasn't honest while he was on the job either... high profile job, low morals, big payout... anything can happen.

    I don't feel sorry for any NBA referees that die. Imagine how many games they fixed and caused people to lose money.

    Screw NBA referees!!!

    Shane would've gotten a hand in his face and made him miss the shot.
