October 27, 2021
BOSTON, October 26, 2021—The 2018 criminal case against former Boston Celtics player JABARI BIRD for strangulation, kidnapping and other domestic-violence crimes concluded today as a judge continued the case without a finding for two years over the objections of the prosecutor and the victim, Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins announced.
During a hearing this morning in the Brighton Division of the Boston Municipal Court, Mr. Bird tearfully admitted that he assaulted and repeatedly choked his then-girlfriend, prevented her from leaving his apartment, and later threatened her in an attempt to deter her from testifying.
