Los Angeles Lakers big man Jordan Hill has just been charged with felony assault for allegedly choking a family member during an altercation in Texas earlier this year ... TMZ has learned.
Quote:
The charge was filed by the Harris County District Attorney in Houston. It's unclear who Hill is accused of attacking.
The alleged incident took place on February 29. If convicted, Hill faces up to 10 years in prison.
24-year-old Hill was recently traded to the Lakers from Houston in exchange for Derek Fisher ... and has become a key member of the team.
Multiple attempts to reach a rep for Hill were unsuccessful.
Story developing ...

Because this is the Lakers dude. If a single week passes by without a little drama, that means something's wrong. |

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jordan Hill has been charged in the choking of a family member while he was still a member of the Rockets, the Houston district attorney's office said in a statement.
Hill will have to make an appearance in Houston to face the charge -- third-degree felony for assault on a family member by choking. The incident took place Feb. 29.
The district attorney's office said that Hill faces a sentence of two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. After paperwork is complete, a warrant for his arrest will be issued.
Hill is currently in Los Angeles, sources tell ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher. The Lakers have an off day in their first-round playoff series against the Nuggets before hosting Denver Tuesday.
Hill was part of the trade that sent Derek Fisher to Houston March 15. The Rockets had a game the date of the incident but Hill did not dress for that game.
As word of the charge, which was first reported by KTRK in Houston, began to spread, two messages were posted on Hill's Twitter account: "Wowwwww," and "Unbelievable!!!!!!!!"
Hill is in his third year in the league out of Arizona. He's got career averages of 5.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... ily-member
So its back to McRoberts and Murphy. 2 months later after an alleged incident, the "victim" decides to press charges? Really hope this isnt true. |

Axle,
IF he did it, what difference does it make when the charges were filed or for what reason? You can't do that sh*t to people and if you do, you should pay a price. In money or some other way. Second, if you don't assault someone, then people can't prove those charges on you. So the lesson is, don't assault someone, lol.
Anyway, it won't effect him this year and our playoff run.
Hopefully, justice and truth will be done in the legal case and the right outcome reached for Hill if he is innocent or the victim if he his guilty. |

Civil Assault -
In civil or tort law, assault is an intentional threat or attempt, with apparent ability to do bodily harm to another resulting in immediate reasonable apprehension of bodily harm; physical contact is unnecessary. Civil assault charges will carry different statute of limitations than criminal assault charges. Generally, but not always, civil assault plaintiffs are allowed more time to bring the case than criminal assault plaintiffs. With civil cases, most people will assume the statute of limitations is seven years, however, it is important to check what your particular jurisdiction prescribes.
So, essentially like SPQR says, when they file charges is irrelevant. DON'T COMMIT THE CRIME IN THE FIRST PLACE. "No harm, no foul!" |

What do you mean it won't affect him? If these allegations are true then there will be an arrest warrant issued. That means the Lakers will lose his valuable services. He was just starting to come around for the team and then this happens? Very unfortunate. |

BLF,
I had the exact same thoughts. "Won't effect him?" Perhaps I'm mistaken, but an arrest warrant seems like something that could VERY significantly effect Jordan Hill. Hope I'm wrong. |

Biggestlakersfan,
I don't see him going to jail and staying there. Even if arrested, he will pay a bail and get out. There is no way this thing will go to trail, if it does, during this playoff season. The justice system moves too slow.
So I see it not really having much effect on him in our playoff run. I remember many, many players in many sports with legal proceedings going on who played ball until the day of court reckoning.
Of course I could be wrong. Lets see how it plays out. |

| I agree SPQR that he shouldn't have done it in the first place, but what I was mainly concerned is that he was playing an important part with the Lakers in the playoffs. It seems like something always happens to the Lakers in playoff times. I hope you are right that it will not effect him playing in the playoffs, but the way espn announced it this morning that it was criminal and could get prison time. So I thought they probably would have a warrant for his arrest right away. He is playing a very important part in the Laker defense against the pnr. |

| If Hill doesn't miss any game time after being arrested and subsequently released on bail, I'm hoping this doesn't serve as a distraction to him that reduces his effectiveness on the court. I remember when Kobe was having his Colorado legal troubles in 04' and he had one of the worst seasons of his career. As the legal problems continued for Kobe, he was even less effective in the playoffs, and he put forth his worst ever NBA finals performance. Hopefully Hill isn't effected negatively by these legal problems like Kobe was. |

Axle,
If he did it. If he is guilty, and they find him guilty in trial or by a plea bargin, he may serve time. That will be worked out. But its been my experience in watching things like this, it will take months to wend its way through the system. Much longer than this playoff.
If he did do it, I would say there is a good chance, if he has no previous record, he will end up with a very short sentence, a month or two, or even just probation.
Then again, he may cut a deal with the girl where he pays her off so she drops the charge. We all know about that method of trying to avoid jail, lol, since we saw it before.
I wouldn't panic yet about what will happen with this playoff run and Hill. Lets see how this shakes down. |

You should stop with the name calling. All I said was that Hill was too good to be true in light of his legal problems. I never said I thought he was guilty. You are jumping to conclusions
Some people will judge another person before they're convicted and sometimes there's good reason. For example, I always thought OJ Simpson was guilty of m*rd*r, and I still believe he's a murdering P.O.S even though he was acquitted. We have an imperfect legal system, and you only do yourself a deservice by calling other people judgmental idiots because they have opinions that differ from your own.
With Jordan Hill, there's every chance he could be guilty and there seems to be some evidence to suggest a case against him. I'm not saying he's guilty but obviously he's having some off the court legal issues that may serve as a very real distraction to this team at a critical juncture of the season. That's why I said he was too good to be true. |

| I guarantee it will affect him. He will be less effective and he will need to prove to people he did nothing. The burden of proof is now on him. Sexual dynamics will be used in the court and he will need to prove with absolute certainty he did not strangle the woman in question. In Texas they love their legal system to be a little more active when it comes to dealing punishment. |

That's a 12 hour window from the time to be in court until tip-off at Staples. I imagine he'll get back to LA in time, but I doubt he'll be very rested. I wonder if the Lakers will supply the use of their team jet like they did for Kobe. I doubt it, but they might, considering how important playoffs games are. |

But, remember, the girl hustling Kobe got 3 million. She was smarter. This girl will get nothing,just some sense of revenge. |

Lakers' Jordan Hill charged with third-degree felony in Texas
By Mike Bresnahan
April 30, 2012, 11:25 a.m.
Lakers reserve forward Jordan Hill was charged with a third-degree felony Monday for allegedly choking a woman with whom he was having a "dating relationship," according to the Harris County district attorney's office in Texas.
Hill faces up to 10 years in jail and will have to return to Houston for a court appearance on an unspecified date.
[Updated at 1:02 p.m.: Hill is supposed to appear at a Houston court Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. CT. It is unclear if his lawyer could appear without him. The Lakers play host to Denver in the second game of their first-round playoff matchup Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.]
[Updated at 1:16 p.m.: The court has confirmed that Hill must appear Tuesday in person.]
Hill, who was with the Houston Rockets at the time, got into a dispute with the woman on Feb. 29 while they were discussing their future at his apartment in Houston, according to court documents.
The woman, Darlene Luna, threw his two cellphones to the floor and was hit in the legs by Hill, who pulled her off a sofa and dragged her toward the cellphones before throwing her against a wall. Hill then put her in a chokehold, which caused her to gasp for air, according to the complaint.
The woman flew back to her residence in Orlando and called police in Houston about four weeks later, on March 29. Luna emailed pictures of bruises on her legs and upper body and also copies of plane tickets to and from Houston. She had been in a relationship with Hill for about two years.
On his Twitter account Monday morning, Hill posted "Unbelievable!!!!!!" and "Wowwwww," apparently in response to the breaking news of the alleged dispute.
Hill, 24, was acquired by the Lakers on March 15 for Derek Fisher and a first-round pick. He had been slowed by a sprained knee ligament and received almost no playing time until recently.
He had 14 points and 15 rebounds in a recent regular-season game against Oklahoma City. He had 10 points and 10 rebounds in the Lakers' playoff opener Sunday against Denver.

Not looking good for Hill. Just saw a tweet he has to be in Court at 9:30 AM CT tomorrow even though game 2 is later that same day. ugh..
That's a 12 hour window from the time to be in court until tip-off at Staples. I imagine he'll get back to LA in time, but I doubt he'll be very rested. I wonder if the Lakers will supply the use of their team jet like they did for Kobe. I doubt it, but they might, considering how important playoffs games are.
My gut instinct is that Jimbo will provide him the Lakers jet if he thinks Hill is being railroaded. If he thinks Hill is an abuser, no jet. This, of course, is just a guess. |

Wow out of now where his family member wants to press charges after 2 months. They are never speaking again.
Yeah, she presses charges now that it looks like Hill is gonna make some money. But this is idiocy, as there is no statute of limitations in these types of cases. If she were smart, wait until Hill gets a fat contract and then squeeze him dry.
This is like the Tyson girl, who got nothing from Iron Mike for all her trouble.
Then again, in this day and age, as a single guy, when a girl goes ballistic, I just leave. I will fight a guy if I have to, but you should never even touch a woman the way the laws are constructed. |

He should leave to Houston right away to get rest and come back to L.A. right after court. |

Lakers forward Jordan Hill issued a statement through the team’s staff on Monday afternoon:
“I’m saddened to learn of the accusations that were filed against me today. At this time I cannot comment further other than to say that my attorneys are working to gather all the facts and evidence and I plan to cooperate completely with the authorities.

All I said was that Hill was too good to be true in light of his legal problems. .
Too good to be true? What if this is false? Then would you be saying he's too good to be true? |
