National basketballer seeks gov't support to beat jail time in Serbia
"If I am not Usain Bolt, I can't get any help!" This is the cry of frustration from Jamaican basketball player Kimani Ffriend, who for the past two years has been living a nightmare in Serbia.
At one stage, he hoped that country would be the stage for the glorious ending of a journeyman career.
Instead, it could become the place where he spends several years in jail.
Ffriend, 35, last represented Jamaica at the Centro Basketball Championships in Mexico on June 2012. It is where Jamaica historically qualified for the elusive Tournament of the Americas.
Five months later, however, he was the driver of a gray Skodia Fabia motorcar that struck and killed Nevena Dragutinovic, a 30-year-old Serbian account executive, on the morning of November 3.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
