Ex-Jazz player sentenced
Updated Jul 23, 2010 06:43AM

NBA • An Ohio judge has sentenced a former NBA player to three years in prison for breaking into his neighbors’ home and attacking them.

Warren County Judge Neal Bronson sentenced Kirk Snyder, 26, Wednesday and ordered him to pay $5,550 in restitution.

A jury convicted Snyder in April of aggravated burglary, felonious assault and assault in the March 2009 break-in in Deerfield Township north of Cincinnati. Snyder had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but was later found competent to stand trial.

The former University of Nevada star was the 16th player taken in the 2004 NBA draft, by the Utah Jazz. He played for four NBA teams and a professional league in China.

He wasn't one of my favorite players, but this is a sad story.
 
I dont think sad is the right word, sad is someone dies. He is an idiot, he got what an idiot deserves.
 
Sad IS the correct word. Snyder obviously has mental problems. He needs to be incarcerated in a facility where they would force him to take medication.
 
SNYDER NO SWIPING!

Not sad. As said above, he is an idiot and got what he deserves. Why do people try to make excuses for criminals?
 
It's sad in the fact that the guy probably has enough talent to be in the NBA right now. Really just a waste.
 
excuses

Sorry, I didn't see any excuses.... what was said is that he has mental problem and should incarcerated AND should get help. Differences between "excuses".... you have mental problem, you should not go to jail or get other consequences for your bad actions, and "reasons", he has the following issues and if we can address these issues he has a better chance to improve his life, after serving his time, therefore reducing the chance of him committing another crime and creating new victims in society.

If we are not willing to look for the root causes of crime, and instead just label criminals with names like "idiots", what chance do we have to reduce crime?

If your mental problems cause you to break into peoples house, you should go to jail.
