One of my best friends as a kid. Sad how he threw it all away. I remember seeing him at the barbershop after he signed. White S-Class in the parking lot, dripping in canary diamonds.

He got caught up buying a plane ticket for a Cali Crip who was committing an out of state murder. He joined the Crips when he moved out to LA. Even got it tatted on him. The ATL stuff is because he would still pull up to the barbershop like a crash dummy and got his jewelry snatched.Word?
I’m mistaken then I thought he had a cali gangbanging shooting case not ATL
I hope he learned a trade or something. Go somewhere away from any big city and just start a different life. Get those 10 years over with.
Rae Carruth been out over 4 years. Dude changed his name and disappeared.

Former Georgia Tech and NBA star must complete community service
Former Georgia Tech and NBA standout Javaris Crittenton will be released from prison after serving 10 years in custody following a woman’s shooting death in August 2011, a Fulton County judge ruled Friday. A release date has not been set but it could be any day, according to his attorney, Brian Steel.
“I am delighted that Mr. Crittenton will be released from custody and begin his efforts to assist our next generation not to fall to the poisons of gangs, violence and drugs,” Steel told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday. “Mr. Crittenton is in a unique position to teach the younger generation how bad it is to be involved in the criminal justice system and how bad it is to be involved with guns and gangs.”
In 2015, Crittenton was sentenced to 23 years in the fatal shooting of Julian Jones, a mother of four, after pleading guilty to charges including voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault. He had already served some time prior to trial. After the plea and sentencing, former Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard agreed to a reduced sentence if Crittenton could demonstrate he’d learned from his mistakes.
Crittenton’s attorney filed a motion to have the sentence modified, and a hearing was held last week. That’s when Crittenton learned he would soon be free. Within hours of the judge agreeing to reduce the sentence, current DA Fani Willis filed a motion to stop it. Willis previously represented Crittenton as his attorney.

“Upon further review of the case, the Fulton County District Attorney’s office lacked jurisdiction to consent to this resentencing because of a conflict of interest,” the DA’s motion filed last week stated. “The Fulton County District Attorney’s office moves this court to rescind the resentencing order and reinstate the original sentence.”

On Friday, Judge Charles Eaton said even though Willis once represented Crittenton, that didn’t disqualify anyone else in her office from being involved in the case, his ruling states.
“It did not appear that District Attorney Fani Willis was involved in the modification process nor that she had any knowledge that the court was set to hear the Motion to Modify Sentence pursuant to terms negotiated prior to her tenure,” Eaton wrote in his ruling. “In effect, District Attorney Willis was ‘screened from any direct or indirect participation’ in the modification as the matter was handled by an Assistant District Attorney assigned to manage cases for which District Attorney may have had a conflict.”
Once released, Crittenton must complete 7,200 hours of community service in 10 years and wear a monitoring system at his expense. He will also mentor others and help them not make the mistakes he did.
