Javaris Crittenton, who played parts of just two seasons in the NBA after the Los Angeles Lakers made him the 19th pick in the 2007 draft, admitted responsibility for his role in the murder of a 22-year-old mother of four.
In accepting a plea in the murder case, the Georgia Tech product faces 23 years in prison.
The details of this case are about as disturbing as it gets.
Crittenton, 27, was seeking revenge against a man who he believed had stolen some jewelry and an iPhone from him. In an incident that he called an accident, the mother of four, Julian Jones, was killed.
