Good To See Lawrence Phillips Is Still Out There Doing His Thing/Murdering People In Prison
FRESNO, Calif. — Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips is suspected of killing his cellmate in a Central California prison, officials said Monday. Phillips’ cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison was found lifeless early Saturday and later pronounced dead, prison spokesman Lt. Marshall Denning said in a statement. Phillips, 39, was once one of the nation’s top college football players at Nebraska. He played for the St. Louis Rams until being released in 1997 for insubordination. He also played for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers.
Phillips is serving a sentence of more than 31 years. He was convicted of twice choking his girlfriend in 2005 in San Diego and in 2006 of driving his car into three teens after a pickup football game in Los Angeles. It wasn’t clear whether Phillips has an attorney. He is suspected of killing Damion Soward, a 37-year-old inmate from San Bernardino County serving 82 years to life for a first-degree murder conviction.
Prison officials said they suspect a second inmate at the prison of also killing his cellmate. It’s unclear whether the two are related. John Munoz, a 24-year-old sentenced to 42 years for sexual battery and other charges in Los Angeles County, is suspected of killing his cellmate, 41-year-old Rattanak Kim, who was serving a sentence of 35 years to life for conspiracy to commit murder in San Diego County. Prison officials are investigating both deaths along with the Kern County Coroner and Kern County District Attorney, prison officials said.

Oh well isn’t that a nice little “where are they now?” update. Lawrence Phillips just needs one more chance guys, just one more, swear he’ll turn it around, soon as he clears up this whole murdering his cellmate situation, serves the rest of his prison time and gets out on parole he’ll be ready to go. Have you seen his highlight tape? No seriously, it still makes my jaw drop, dude had moves on top of moves on top of power. Perfect running back, minus the whole being a complete and utter psychopath, which I guess looking back on it was probably a pretty important aspect to his lack of pro success. Maybe his roommate was a snorer or really messy? Probably need to hear the whole story first right?
Cue Dick Vermeil crying in a corner somewhere because he couldn’t save Lawrence Phillips. Also cue Dick Vermeil crying because it’s Tuesday and the sun rose. Dude just loves to cry.
PS
You know you’re a tremendous piece of shit when you’re an all time college running back and former NFL player and your only Wikipedia picture is your mugshot. Sweet leather jacket though.
