Man held over offer to kill woman accusing basketball star of rape
Patrick Graber, who was living in the Los Angeles area on an expired visa and claimed to be a member of the Russian mafia, was taken into custody after accepting a bag full of money from undercover officers and pledging to kill the 19-year-old woman within a week, police said.
Graber also told the officers he would provide proof of the murder, possibly with a photograph of the woman's body, Los Angeles Sheriff's Lt Jim Taylor said.
