From a couple of days ago.
We all remember McKie from his days with the Sixers when he was the only player other than Iverson who could play. He is also well-known recently for being part of the Pau Gasol trade- he had to come out of retirement to suit up for the Grizzles for the trade to go through. What a league! However, McKie had some very good years with the Sixers before pulling a Robert Parish and staying in the league way too long collecting paychecks. Unfortunately, his outside-of-the-NBA career appears to be a little too Robert Parish-ey for comfort. McKie got busted for allegedly smacking his ex-woman around, then tried to buy himself some firearms. No dice, says the law, which apparently frowns upon people with violent criminal histories buying small concealable killing machines. Now McKie has a felony to deal with. Of course, here comes the lawyer with the "innocent mistake" case...
"You can make an honest mistake on a gun application and pay the price," McMonagle said. "I don't think anybody thinks he had any bad intentions here."
I guess that is true. You could accidentally put your old phone number or something, but neglecting to mention that you have a protective order for smacking around your girlfriend hanging over your head.... I don't know if that qualifies as "an honest mistake". Especially if you specifically deny it...
The 35-year-old McKie denied being the subject of such an order when he applied to buy the guns in April, authorities said. The purchase was denied when the information surfaced in a background check, but his request was forwarded to state police.
Whups! We'll keep you posted.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2008/07/aaron-mckie-prepares-for-armageddon.html
