Okay, something is very wrong with this case! I was unaware that this man was even in jail and for a 30 year stretch and he had not committed a murder or something?!!? NO white athlete of his stature would be treated this way! And how is it that he 'killed' his cellmate they claimed with no proof of it and no news outlet reported on this at all!!! They kept this very very very quiet! Now all of a sudden HE'S DEAD! This shit stinks to High Heaven and all I can tell is yet again, the white establishment is behind the oppression of one of our people! And they must have done something they had no business their reasons for keeping it so quiet! Makes me wonder if the white police guarding him weren't the ones who murdered him instead of this convenient excuse of 'suicide' something most Black men would never do under the harshest circumstances! This whole scenario stinks of fish and if there is something foul that happened I pray the Good Lord will reveal it to us and get some justice for this poor fellow! Cause we already know we can't believe squat the white press put out for lying is just second nature to these bigots! Lord we pray for justice and clarity in this situation. If this young man was the victim of a white conspiracy root out those responsible my Lord and LAY THEM BARE BEFORE THE WORLD, AND GIVE THIS POOR YOUNG MAN JUSTICE AND VENGEANCE! This we pray in Jesus name; amen!
Ex-NFL running back Lawrence Phillips found dead in prison
SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips was found dead in his
California prison cell early Wednesday, and officials said they suspect
suicide.Guards at Kern Valley State Prison found Phillips, 40, unresponsive in his cell shortly after midnight. He was taken to an outside hospital and pronounced dead about 1:30 a.m., the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
He had been housed alone in a segregation cell since April 2013 after he was suspected of killing his cellmate. A Kern County judge had ruled Tuesday that there was enough evidence to try Phillips in the death of Damion Soward, 37.
Phillips played for the St. Louis Rams before being released in 1997 for insubordination. He also played for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.
He was once one of the top U.S. college football players at Nebraska.
Phillips was sent to prison in 2008 to serve a sentence of more than 31 years after he was convicted of twice choking his girlfriend in 2005 in San Diego and of driving his car into three teens later that year after a pickup football game in Los Angeles.
He was sentenced for inflicting great bodily injury involving domestic violence, corporal injury to a spouse, false imprisonment and vehicle theft.
Phillips was housed with about 3,900 other inmates in the prison about 80 miles south of Fresno in California's Central Valley.
