Nets rookie guard acquitted on two DUI charges
|
TUCSON, Ariz. – New Jersey Nets rookie guard Hassan Adams was acquitted Wednesday on two DUI charges. Adams, who starred at Arizona here and was a second-round draft pick of the Nets, was arrested March 5 and cited with speeding, DUI and DUI with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or greater. A Tucson City Court jury deliberated some five hours before deciding that Adams could not be convicted of either DUI charge, citing doubt over his breathalyzer results. Adams faced at least a day in jail if convicted of the DUI charge. He declined comment after the verdict but his attorney Stephen Paul Barnard said: “This was a huge weight off his shoulders. It means he can go play some basketball.” Adams, the 54th pick overall in the NBA draft, averaged 17.5 points and almost five rebounds last season. He is the only player in the Pac-10 history to record 1,800 points, 700 rebounds and 200 steals in a college career. Adams broke his right foot in June during a workout for the Nets before the draft but passed a physical last month and signed a contract with New Jersey. |
