On Monday, former NBA All-Star Daron “Mookie” Blaylock was sent to prison for killing a woman in a crash on Tara Boulevard. The sentence put another face on the golf-loving basketball legend than the one once so familiar with NBA fans.
The 47-year-old former Atlanta Hawk, was sentenced to 15 years but with only three to actually serve in prison for vehicular homicide and other charges in the death of Monica Murphy — a mother of five — in a head-on collision in Clayton County on May 31, 2013.
The negotiated plea came on the day jury selection was to start for his trial, his attorney Amanda Palmer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitutution.
