Authorities say ex-NBA player Javaris Crittenton is free on
bail after he was charged with murder in an August drive-by shooting. Crittenton was released at 12:15 a.m.
Wednesday.
Fulton County Magistrate Judge Karen Woodson allowed
Crittenton to go free on $230,000 bond after hearing testimony Tuesday from the
player’s friends and coaches. She ordered former Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt
and others who testified on his behalf to co-sign the bond.
The former Washington Wizards player is accused of killing
22-year-old Julian Jones as she walked along an Atlanta street. Police have
said the shots were aimed at someone walking with Jones.
Defense attorney Brian Steel said Crittenton is not guilty
and the charges are based on faulty eyewitness testimony.
