Former NBA All-Star Mookie Blaylock pleaded guilty to Vehicular Homicide and other minor charges in a metro Atlanta area courtroom Monday afternoon.
The charges stem from a May 2013 traffic accident south of Atlanta when he crashed into a car driven by Monica Murphy who died on the scene. Blaylock, who was also seriously injured in the crash, agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors that calls for 7-years of jail time and 8-years of probation, though he'd be eligible to have the prison term suspended after 3-years.
While Blaylock, who admitted he had an alcohol problem, was apparently not intoxicated at the time of the crash, he was under orders not to be driving due to a seizure disorder attributed to his alcoholism.

DEVELOPING: Blaylock Charges Upgraded (MONDAY UPDATE: Blaylock Turns Himself In)
((HT: AJC/WSB-TV))
So much for just the two minor charges...
With the death of Monica Murphy, the charges in the accident involving former NBA-star Mookie Blaylock have now been added to a few times over.
Second-degree vehicular homicide
Making an improper lane change
Driving on the wrong side of the road
Driving on a suspended license and,
Crossing into the median
All of the charges are misdemeanors, but Blaylock’s charges could be added to again when toxicology tests come back. Second-degree homicide means that the Clayton County (GA) DA's Office thinks there was no malice aforethought when Blaylock's car crossed the center line.
Here's Tom Jones with the husband of the woman killed in the acident
If Blaylock is found to be under the influence at the time of the accident, the vehicular homicide charges will be upgraded to first-degree... MONDAY UPDATE: Using a walker, Blaylock turned himself in to ... When asked about the crash, Blaylock only said, “No comment.” His wife told Jones he feels horrible about it. Naturally... Tom Jones was there when it all went down before Blaylock was transported to the county jail...
