Byron Scott, a Los Angeles Lakers legend with three NBA championships, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in federal court. The move comes just weeks before a civil trial related to a decades-old sexual assault allegation. The filing automatically triggers an automatic stay, pausing all legal proceedings against him in California state court. According to U.S. Bankruptcy Court records, the petition was filed on October 14, ahead of a trial scheduled for October 28. The plaintiff's attorney called the move a 'pathetic and cowardly' attempt to delay justice. However, U.S. bankruptcy law has a critical nuance: debts arising from willful and malicious injury, including sexual battery, are generally nondischargeable in bankruptcy. This suggests Scott's filing may only provide temporary delay, not a permanent escape from legal liability.
