Murder trial delayed for ex-Ga Tech and NBA player Crittenton

The trial for former NBA player and Georgia Tech standout Javaris Crittenton has been postponed until April 27, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said.

Jury selection was previously scheduled to begin Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. for Crittenton, 27, and his cousin and co-defendant Douglas Gamble, 29.

Crittenton and Gamble are accused of killing 23-year-old Julian Jones, a mother of four in August 2011, and wounding another man in separate shootings that investigators have said were gang-related retaliation.
