Iverson Case Hinges on Credibility Without Gun Evidence
Philadelphia police found no gun in the case against former NBA MVP Allen Iverson, shifting the battle to credibility between Iverson and two accusers, Charles Jones and Hakim Carey. Jones, living with Iverson’s cousin, describes a confrontation at a home where Iverson allegedly threatened to shoot. Prosecutors warn that lack of weapon evidence weakens the prosecution while defense notes potential embellishment for financial gain.
