Los Angeles Violent Crime Attorneys and the L.A. Lakers

Posted on: August 29, 2011 at 6:35 p.m.

Violent crimes often lead to serious consequences, but serious violent crimes such as murder, manslaughter and the like involve life altering, even life ending, consequences. A recent situation involving former Los Angeles Laker Javaris Crittenton highlights just how important it is to hire a Los Angeles Violent Crime Attorney as soon as you are accused of or arrested for a violent crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking for Javaris Crittenton who is wanted for the murder of a 22 year old woman. The FBI is working with police in Atlanta according to TMZ where the woman was shot and killed on August 19. The police reports have stated that they do not believe the former L.A. Laker was aiming at the woman, but she was still shot and killed. Crittenton was a member of the Washington Wizards in 2009 when he and Gilbert Arenas were involved in a gun incident involving a fellow teammate. Officials do not know where he is hiding out, or what his current whereabouts are. He was a first round draft pick by the Lakers in 2007 and in addition to playing with the Wizards, he spent time with Memphis and Charlotte in his career.

As any Los Angeles Violent Crime Attorney will tell you, not only was this crime a violent crime, it now involves federal authorities. Federal crimes are dangerous because the federal law enforcement officials rarely lose their cases. For Crittenton, he is probably running because he is scared. IF he had a qualified Los Angeles Violent Crime Attorney working for him, he would be advised to turn himself in and cooperate as much as possible. This is a highly serious case, and if the former NBA player is arrested while running, it could lead to some scary punishments. Georgia may throw the book at him and he could be up for the death penalty depending upon where he is tried. With the Atlanta police and the FBI looking for him, he does not really stand a chance of escaping. Having a qualified Los Angeles Violent Crime Defense Attorney on his side could help deal with the fear and get his head on straight.
