He turned right and crashed through a fence and into a tree. If had turned left, he might have killed someone. Dude made hundred million bucks or so in the NBA. Call a damn taxi!

Re: Ben Wallace sentenced to 1 year in prison
Isnt that quite steep for leaving your car after hitting a tree and a fence? I can see a hefty fine and get sued. But a year in prison that doesnt make any sense.
