| Prosecutors drop some charges against Latrine Spurts-Well Don Hearns 11:15:02 |

Prosecutors drop assault case against Latrell Sprewell
February 4, 2008
HARRISON, N.Y. (AP) -- Prosecutors are dropping their case against
former basketball star Latrell Sprewell, who was accused of assaulting
his girlfriend in front of their children.
Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for Westchester County District Attorney
Janet DiFiore, said Monday the charges will be dismissed in a year if
Sprewell stays out of trouble.
An order of protection against Sprewell on behalf of Candace Cabbil
remains in effect, Chalfen said.
Sprewell was charged in December 2006 with third-degree assault,
obstructing governmental administration and five counts of endangering
children. The complaint said Sprewell assaulted Cabbil in their home
in the New York City suburb of Purchase and refused to let in police
for 90 minutes.
Sprewell played 13 seasons and was a four-time All-Star. He played for
the Golden State Warriors, the New York Knicks and the Minnesota
Timberwolves. During a 1997 practice, Sprewell attacked his Golden
State Warriors coach, P.J. Carlesimo.
In 2005, Sprewell turned down a three-year, $21 million contract
extension from Minnesota and has not played professional basketball
since. He lives in River Hills, Wis.
In May, four of the five endangering children charges were dropped,
and all remaining charges were included in Friday's adjournment.
"This is what Latrell maintained all along, that there was no merit to
the charges," said Sprewell's lawyer, George Bellantoni.
Bellantoni said a lawsuit filed in Manhattan by Cabbil had been
settled. He would not disclose terms.
