He was convicted of aggravated assault. Not Murder or Manslaughter. Someone died so of course there is culpability. That doesn't mean it wasn't an accident. He was being reckless, there wasn't intent hence the aggravated assault.

Exactly, he's just like OJ, he just made one tiny mistake. Although OJ never shot a dog, so there's that.That is why I also mentioned it was an accident, which was conveniently left out. I don't recall that being part of OJ's defense strategy. Although I get your point you can't compare him to OJ, OJ was found not guilty, then hood winked by the justice system when he no longer had the funds to pay for a top rated defense team. In any event it's a shame what happen to Jason's post basketball career. His TV personality was great. He was Charles Barkley minus the controversial remarks. It was NOT an accident! People do not go to jail for accidents, or get convicted of crimes. There was criminal culpability involved.He was convicted of aggravated assault. Not Murder or Manslaughter.
