This is such a sad case.
Also, it should be noted after Sherra Wright got the $1 million insurance money, she blew the entire thing in six months. The money was supposed to be a nest egg for Wright’s children.
The ex-wife of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright — who had six children with the hoop standout and banked $1 million from his insurance policy — has been charged in his 2010 slaying, police said Saturday.
Sherra Wright, 46, was arrested Friday night in Riverside, Calif., and charged with first-degree murder, more than seven years after her ex’s bullet-riddled body was found in a field near his hometown of Memphis.
There was a break in the case Dec. 5 when Billy Turner, a deacon at the church Sherra White attended, was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in Wright’s death. Turner pleaded not guilty.
Turner, a landscaper, and Sherra Wright conspired to kill the 6-foot-11 fan favorite, according to a release from the Shelby County district attorney’s office.
It took seven years, but it is great that justice will likely be served in this case.
