Adam, son of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of the greatest legends of world basketball and top scorer in the NBA, was sentenced to six months in jail accused of stabbing from a Southern California neighbor with a hunting knife during a discussion about dumpsters.
At 29, Adam Abdul-Jabbar plead guilty to three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a charge of holding a dagger and inflicting serious injuries for what was condemned this past Tuesday, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.
Abdul-Jabbar hijo I accepted the plea agreement from an Orange County judge. And by that agreement, the final sentence was suspended until January 7 so that Abdul-Jabbar can request home confinement rather than incarceration, the prosecutor’s office said. Will be the probation officers those who will decide whether to be allowed home confinement.
Prosecutors had requested a prison sentence for you are aos and they opposed the plea offer.
Apparently Abdul-Jabbar and his San Clemente neighbor share a driveway. Abdul-Jabbar stabbed the 60-year-old neighbor several times on June 9 of last year after the man reprimanded him for not picking up the trash cans that correspond to Adam’s roommate.
The victim was stabbed in the back of the head, suffered a skull fracture and almost died from blood loss after collapsing outside the emergency room, prosecutors said.
“This is an absolute judicial error“said District Attorney Todd Spitzer in a statement after sentencing.”This man nearly bled to death in front of the gates from the ER after being stabbed so violently over and over again that he fractured his skull. “
“We believe that total disregard for human life for a dispute over the garbage cans is so egregious that it justifies the sentence of imprisonment, “Spitzer said.
