Previous NBA player Javaris Crittenton waived California extradition proceedings Wednesday and will be returned to Georgia in link with his arrest in a murder case in Atlanta.
Crittenton appeared prior to Superior Court Judge Upinder Kalra and explained he had voluntarily signed the waiver.

Defense legal professional Brian Metal explained outside court that Crittenton had previously agreed to return to Atlanta voluntarily and had even purchased a airplane ticket, but legislation enforcement authorities determined to arrest him anyway.
Metal said he would like to get his consumer back to Atlanta to distinct up the make a difference.
''Crittenton would like to do everything lawful due to the fact he did practically nothing,'' the legal professional said.
Metal said his consumer is becoming falsely accused and the information will occur out at the preliminary listening to.
Crittenton was taken into custody Monday evening at John Wayne Airport in Orange County.
