| Bail for ex-Hawk Mookie Blaylock set at $250K in fatal accident case
JONESBORO, Ga., June 11 () -- A Georgia judge Tuesday set bail at $250,000 for former Atlanta Hawks player Mookie Blaylock on charges stemming from a car crash that killed a mother of five.Clayton County Judge Daphne Walker said Blaylock -- who turned himself in to authorities Monday after being seriously injured in the May 31 accident -- would remain under house arrest as a condition of his bond, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported. Blaylock, 46, is charged with second-degree vehicular homicide, driving on a suspended license, failure to maintain lane and crossing a center median.The wreck in suburban Atlanta killed 40-year-old Monica Murphy and injured both Murphy's husband and Blaylock.He was wanted under an outstanding Spalding County, Ga.,[url=http://www.govtvault.com/]gucci belt men[/url], drunken driving warrant at the time of the crash, authorities said. "I believe often times DUIs are vehicular homicides that didn't occur," Walker said. "It's something that I take very seriously, even though under the law they're treated as misdemeanors."Blaylock attorney Don Samuel argued at the arraignment his wheelchair-bound client's bail should be set at $50,000 because he isn't a flight risk,[url=http://www.leedpe.com/]louboutin shoes sale[/url], the newspaper reported."This is not the day for punishment," the attorney said. "The day will come when we ultimately decide how this case should be handled." |
