J.R. Rider sentenced to 7 months in Marin jail (http://www.marinij.com/marin/ci_5177401)
Former NBA basketball star Isaiah "J.R." Rider was sentenced Wednesday to seven months in Marin County Jail.
Rider, 35, also was ordered to perform 120 hours of community service and complete a drug education program.
Upon release from Marin County Jail he will be on probation for three years.
The sentence was imposed after prosecutors filed three criminal cases against him. Rider pleaded guilty to several charges, including felony cocaine possession, battery and evading a police officer.
Speaking to the court prior to sentencing, Rider said he had fallen into a tailspin in the past year and gotten into trouble here and in Alameda County, where he lives.
"I got myself into this," Rider said, adding that he has been deeply affected by the grave condition of his mother. "I want to get out (of jail) - have a funeral for her."
Rider's mother is in a coma because of a heart condition and the family has been told by doctors that she is brain dead.
