Mookie got 15 years
Former
Atlanta Hawk Daron “Mookie” Blaylock pleaded guilty Monday to killing a mother of five in a
head-on collision in Clayton County.
While he was sentenced to 15 years, the 47-year-old former NBA star will only serve three years in prison for vehicular homicide and other charges in the May 31, 2013, death of Monica Murphy, according to the terms of a negotiated plea deal.
That plea came on the day jury selection was to start, attorney Amanda Palmer told The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The negotiated deal, seven years in prison and eight on probation, allows for Blaylock’s prison sentence to be suspended after three years. The conditions for the suspension include 1,500 hours of community service and treatment for alcoholism, including twice weekly Alcoholic Anonymous meetings. Additionally, he cannot drive until his probation is completed, Palmer said.
