Basketball Hall of Famer Ray Allen got scolded by a federal judge and ordered to donate $1,000 to charity for failing to show up at a trial after being selected as a juror.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke told Allen, 46, during Wednesday's hearing that he had disrespected the court by skipping out on jury service. Her order says “no man or woman is above performing that civic duty.”
Allen had been selected to serve last week as a juror in a fatal carjacking trial, but did not appear even after Cooke delayed the trial a day so that he could attend the jersey retirement ceremony of former Boston Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett, Allen said little during the hearing. His attorney, William McCue, apologized to Cooke and said Allen's absence “was a complete misunderstanding.” Allen said he would make his donation to diabetes research.Allen, now a coach at a Miami-area private school, played 1,300 NBA games over 18 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, Seattle SuperSonics, Celtics and Miami Heat.
He won NBA championships with the Celtics in 2008 and Heat in 2013 and retired as the league's career-best three-point shooter, a record that has since been eclipsed. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2018. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.
