Ex-Michigan State basketball star Keith Appling sentenced for 2nd degree murder

[@larone29ray15]

That’s a long time 18 to 40 years in prison is along ass time.

[@freshcrave4276]

Ruin his life. I hope all young men see and learn trouble is not worth it

[@imhereforitall9218]

They won't. Some lessons are better learned by experience or not. Some people just don't age out of anti-social behavior.

[@joannlaney]

Sad & heartbreaking 💔 killing his own relative.. Throwed his life & basketball career away. If Ja'morant don't get his act together trying to be a hard core thug he going to be in jail.

[@imhereforitall9218]

I hear he was a piece of work while at Michigan St. Said he was a handful to deal with as a player. Uncoachable. Some Black people do not know how to take advantage of the opportunities in front of them. Dumb fawk.

[@DFS_degen]

He went undrafted in 2014. His basketball career washed away a long time ago

[@myronbledsoe44]

Who are you to say what's going to happen to Ja Morant? Worry about your own disfunctions.

[@313drepeso313]

Sad man... God gave brody all that talent, and he just wasted it time after time... Talking bout fumbling the bag!!!

[@imhereforitall9218]

Maybe he was destined to be a POS no matter what. Maybe his entire family are just one big POS.

[@mycharmedunicorn8715]

He can play ball in prison

[@sharitasmith6217]

Not a single body was in that courtroom to support him. He must've tore that Family apart behind this decision. It's so sad how 1 wrong decision can change a million lives in the blink of an eye.

[@stevencook4002]

A million lives?

[@davidkruse4030]

I met this guy when I was working at a local district court. It was crazy to see him. And it’s even crazier he went on to do this

[@imhereforitall9218]

Well... they said he was a handful while he was at Michigan State. Said the coach really had no control over him. A real piece of work.

The phucking cold part about it is not one family member showed up 4 support despite being found guilty....now flip it...imagine this day being the NBA draft and 100's of family, friends and walk-ons would be chanting his name and showing fake love....that has 2 hurt deeper than the sentence itself...

[@lousanto1054]

Could not have said it better myself. You are absolutely correct. In times of adversity and struggle, no one who says they care about you wants to even be miles near you, but when you are on top of the world, everyone is in your corner. It's like that 50 Cent song (I think 21 Questions)

He took the life of another family member, maybe it's too much for the family to handle.

Wow, what a shame he couldn't find his way out.

[@bobyesia560]

[@ArtTheSinger]

Threw

[@killingsley]

Why would he try to withdraw the plea? He can't even go to trial & say the murder was an accident because he shot the man several times. If he went to trial he would probably get LWOP. At least with the plea he can have a chance to get out in 15 years seeing how he already spent 3 years behind bars.

[@mobetta2092]

You sir are 100% correct. All things considered when it’s time to leave prison he’ll look back and thank the judge for denying his request to withdraw his plea.

[@jn-bl4ls]

He should have gotten the death penalty automatically.

So his claim to fame is playing ball a dozen years ago! Enjoy your continued state paid for hiatus.

[@empowered3206]

I believe he will not get the 40 years but he will get enough time to think about what he did.

[@imhereforitall9218]

Give him the 40. He's going back when he gets out anyway. Might as well keep him in.

This still hurts looking back at it. He was my favorite player on that Michigan st team…

I do not like how they did not give an accurate description of what happened during the incident.
