Was there ever any doubt that this would end up happening?   And end to a wasted life.

"Lawrence Phillips, the former football star facing murder charges, was found dead early Wednesday at Kern Valley State Prison, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Terry Thornton told USA TODAY Sports.

The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, according to press release from the department.

Phillips, 40, was facing the possible death penalty in the alleged murder of his former cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison. At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, a Superior Court judge ruled there was "sufficient cause to believe'' Phillips committed murder, according to court records, which cleared the way for a trial that could have ended with Phillips getting the death penalty."

Just read that.  My first thought was if someone killed him then that someone was a bad sob because Phillips was a load.  Talk about a waste of talent.

Some people are just bad.  Bad to the core.  And I don't mean "bad" as in cool or awesome.  I mean "bad" as in evil.  I'm afraid Phillips was one of those people.

they could never get the LA inner city out of the guy  and Osborne really tried    Dr Tom knew that without football the guy was doomed   I heard that they tried everything to keep him in Lincoln over summers because if he got back to LA anything could happen    Hell it happened in Lincoln    there are certain things that were happening back then (and maybe now) that just were frightening    QB  Darian Hagan who ended up at Colorado wanted to come to Nebraska but said if he wore red the bloods in his neighborhod would kill him

You're considered a racist if you address that problem and the politicians are not about to touch that topic.

Probably right.  Only way it will be targeted is when a politician loses a kid to it.
