Lawrence Phillips sentenced to 31 years in prison
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ex-player Phillips sentenced to 31 years for assault Dec. 18, 2009 CBSSports.com wire reports
SAN DIEGO -- Ex-NFL running back Lawrence Phillips has been sentenced to more than 31 years in prison for attacking his girlfriend and driving his car into three teens.
Phillips, 34, was sentenced Friday in San Diego for assault and other crimes.
Phillips told the judge he didn't get a fair trail and he'll appeal.
Phillips twice choked his girlfriend in 2005 in San Diego. Later that year, he aimed his car and struck three teens after a pickup football game in Los Angeles.
A Los Angeles judge gave him 10 years for that attack but he was re-sentenced to seven years on Friday.
Phillips was once one of the nation's top college football players at Nebraska. The St. Louis Rams released him for insubordination in 1997. He also played for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.

When Phillips was getting chance after chance from Tom Osborn, I was buiding a house for a Nebraska native who was a big Husker backer. I heard so much crap about how the football program was just trying to give a troubled young man a opportunity for a better life. They stood behind a thug abuser like Phillips and a rapist like Christian Peters. Lawrence Phillips should have had his sorry carcass in jail for alot longer alot earlier. Born with a lottery ticket in his back pocket, but too stupid to cash it!

Lawrence may have thought the guys in the Big 8 or the NFL were tough. Wait until he meets the guys in the shower at the many-bar motel! I'm sure that none of those perverts are waiting to punk some former hot-shot who beats on women.
