A New Jersey man has been convicted of killing a friend over a $700 bet on the 2013 Super Bowl.
Thirty-one-year-old Eddie Roberson, of Newark, was convicted Wednesday of killing 38-year-old Talif Crowley, of Bloomfield, in February 2013.
Prosecutors say Roberson did not want to pay Crowley after losing the bet after the San Francisco 49ers lost to the Baltimore Ravens. He believed the 49ers were cheated in the 34-31 loss.
New mom Crystal Matrau-Belt describes the heartbreaking tragedy that accompanied her son’s birth. Her mother and the baby’s father were killed in a car crash on their way to the delivery. WOOD’s Ken Kolker reports.
He shot Crowley six times on a street in Newark two days after the game during a confrontation.
