Former Houston Rockets star and Basketball Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy trial on sexual assault charges stemming from claims he molested five of his daughters when they were children cranks up today in Judge Mike McSpadden‘s criminal state district court in Houston. Here are the earlier posts on the case.
The trial is expected to last about two weeks. Murphy, 55, is charged with three counts of indecency with a child and three counts of aggravated sexual assault. Each charge is punishable by up to life in prison, so Murphy’s freedom for the remainder of his life is literally at stake.
This trial is going to be ugly and very sad.
