[Yahoo] Crittendon tells judge he "feared for his life," gets probation

So will he be kicked out too?

He should be.

DD

 

He can't play anyway

 

So....

He gets probation, what next? Suspended without pay indefinitely as what Mr. Arenas received in the first place? It should be, both of them pulled a gun and drew at each other as reported, no one really saw what's happened in there. With the fact that being stated that both took out a handgun, well, Arenas put 3 guns on the chair to be exact, they both deserve suspension from the league.

 

I can't believe they bought that garbage. He feared for his life? Yeah right

 

so the story admitted to is that it was unloaded. I assume he'll get either the same or a lesser penalty than Arenas. (some were originally saying it would be greater b/c they thought his was loaded)

 

Um...what exactly do you think was going through is head after a heated exchange with somebody followed up with that somebody leaving multiple handguns in your locker? Especially when that somebody is bat**** crazy, like Gilbert is?

 

It sounds to me like the two were somewhat playing around/posturing and had no clue when to f'n stop.

Conflicts don't usually escalate to guns in such a ridiculous manner.

 

the both commited the same crime and arenas gets felonies and critter gets probation? what the hell? i get it he feared for his life, but he still commited a crime and should have told AUTHORITIES arenas had guns BEFORE crittonton brought them in also.

if im a cop or judge, im asking, if you knew that arenas had guns and so you brought yours, why not tell the teams gm,coach,stern,police,fbi anybody so you dont get shot

arenas if he used that argument he was scared of crittonton he would still be in trouble. this smells of conspiracy by stern and obama do get arenas contract nullified. Nullified to help wizards rebuild. I bring up obama because he is in washington and seen at wizard games , and also how would it look if arenas did used them in washington dc at the stadium in the same city obama is? obama probably gave stern and police a phone call and said nail him

alot of players are packing heat without license and stern turns his head, but for some reason they went apesh!t over arenas. somethings not right.

 

Arenas has priors. He had gun problems in golden state also.

 

ToyCen, is that you?

 

LOL at the failed name spelling of the title, its Crittenton I believe.

Yahoo! sucks.

 

thats such a load of bs...

he just lost all street cred

 

I'm pretty sure trash talk is common in the NBA. I haven't heard any stories of Gilbert shooting anyone so I don't think he is that crazy.

 

Smart move by Crittenton though.

 

Few things to consider:
1) Gilbert has priors (related to guns, too)
2) Gilbert brought 4 guns to the locker room.
3) The police never found Jarvis's gun.
4) Jarvis's lawyer and the police might have reached some sort of agreement before Gilbert plead guilty. After all, Gilbert Arenas is a bigger fish.

 

I'm sure leverage had a lot to do with this whole thing. The US Justice System isn't usually isn't 100% fair. And in this case, while there were other factors, the most important one was evidence of the guns. The cops had Gilbert's and they didn't have Javaris'. If it was the other way around (in terms of who trashed his gun and who turned it in), there's a good chance the charges would be reversed.

 

That's what she said.

 

I'll gladly lose my street cred to stay free! But the article says his gun was legally owned. Was that the same for Gilbert?

 

Clearly not with guns. Arenas brought guns to the arena, put them in Crittenton's locker, and later jokingly laughed about it while doing the shot em up dance in a huddle. that's crazy.

There always seem to be some kind of antics surrounding Arenas...none have seemed to be this violent before, but to me, the guy seems to not be all there, so to speak.

I'm not saying Javaris shouldn't be blamed...I just don't see why it's so hard to believe the guy might have legitimately been scared?
