JR Smith sentenced to 90 days in jail
June 30, 2009 · Filed Under Denver Nuggets, News

The AP reports: A judge sentenced Denver Nuggets guard J.R. Smith to 90 days in jail Tuesday night for causing an auto accident that killed his friend, though Smith will likely end up serving only 30. Municipal Judge Debra J. Gelson suspended 60 days of the sentence providing Smith performs 500 hours of community service consisting of visiting sick children at hospitals.

InsideHoops.com adds: This incident took place in June of 2007 in New Jersey. Smith drove an SUV through a stop sign.

The following is a statement from Nuggets Vice President of Basketball Operations Mark Warkentien on J.R. Smith.

“We are fully aware of the legal proceedings involving J.R. Smith today and the judges’ decision. J.R. Smith took responsibility for his role in this tragic accident that occurred in June 2007. The legal statutes mandate that J.R. serve time for driving recklessly and he is grateful that the statutory sentence was reduced from 90 days to 30.

We will continue to support J.R. during this difficult period and will have no further comment at this time.”

We knew about this a long while ago. I guess another shot at Laker fans bashing opponents, ehh why not

So the unnecessary thuggets comments are back. Good to know. This happened a while ago so it wasn't really needed. Hopefully, the NBA doesn't take any action against him.

Killing your friend - 30 days
Stealing Money- 150 years

God Bless America....

Yeah I'm sorry but getting 30 days in jail for making someone die, because you jumped the lights and drove waaaay to fast? Inexcusable, only because he's a famous person he didn't get like 5 years. Are you kidding me? Taking someone's live because of you, your faults in traffic? Not an accident where he lost control over his vehicle, but intentionally driving too fast and jumping the lights. No words for it.
