There's obviously something wrong with Javaris Crittenden. If he is indeed guilty of this crime, he is a bad human.

However, I don't think this story needs to be generalized to the majority of NBA players or any other particular group. 

Yes, there are stories out there about a few NBA players getting into some trouble, but Crittenden's story is the only one I've heard of where someone has been murdered in cold blood. 

Very sad.

agreed that it's sad. not sad as in sympathy context, if he is indeed guilty of taking someones life then there is no remorse for him, that's up to god! but it's sad that someone in his situation has fallen so far to resort to tragedies such as this....

Senseless. Only goes to show that no matter how much athletic talent some of these guys have to advance themselves in life that you can take the man out of the gang but you can't always take the gang out of the man.

I hope they have the death penalty in Georgia.
A major sports figure getting the death penalty ...I definitely think that would serve as a wake up call for a lot of athletes. Killing a mom in cold blood and it's not even the right person? That's about as straight forward as you get

He didn't mean to kill the woman he actually killed, but he DID want to kill someone. So what is that? Murder 2? 3? Manslaughter? Murder 1? Georgia is a death penalty state but Crittenden won't get it.

He probably won't get it, but it is still a possibility.

Can you stack crimes into a death sentence? Maybe I ought to pay those back traffic tickets....

When you intentionally mean to kill somebody, but kill somebody else, that's murder.  Whether it's murder 1 or murder 2 depends upon specific state law, and will be related to premeditation, etc.

The victim shouldn't matter, as the intent "transfers" from the intended victim to the actual victim.

And since he opened fire, the assumed intent is always to kill, right?
