Going after hardy now is basically a witch hunt

[CPantherKing]

This is a money topic. The facts do not matter.

 

Any organization who pushes this DV witch hunt better be fully prepared to clean their own house. Get those pink slips ready and start firing your own employees. Time to clean all the demons in your organizations closet.

 

Have fun with that concept.

Compared to McDonald from the 9ers, Hardy has had more noise made about and Rays seemed worse

Ray McDonald is just a guy.  Hardy is an emerging star who became a pretty big offseason story after both getting the franchise tag AND the domestic violence arrest.

 

We never seem to get any attention except for when we'd rather not.

Person 1. But he was convicted and that's all that matters

Reply: no. Sites lawyer/constitution

Person 1. But a conviction is a conviction

Insert random comment guy: you rush to judgement

Insert random comment guy 2: you like hardy and defend him even if he was convicted.

Insert random comment guy 3: Alice, you suck and the Taints are 0-1. Oh wait , wrong thread

Yup only thing that changed is we saw video of Rice punching his wife - so Hardy should be punished for that?

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson still has time to get it right on domestic violence.

 

As for Richardson, I am glad he tearfully disavowed domestic violence Wednesday night at an awards dinner in Charlotte. But it is time for Richardson to put action behind those words.

 

Don’t just say something.

 

Do something.

Boy do I miss the days when reporters actually reported the news and weren't there to be mouth pieces to help the sheeple form their politically correct opinions. That's why I refuse to watch the news, besides being all depressing and bad, it's has an agenda that doesn't fit their titles as "reporters" .

It's so easy for Congresswomen to pander to their constituencies by demanding a no tolerance policy. But if we had a no tolerance policy for congress infidelities, there would be no congress.

Jane McManus (espnW) on SC right now saying Rice should appeal to NFLPA, but Hardy/Panthers should be serious about FACTS of the case and suspend him. LOL.  wtf is going on right now.  is this real life?

Can someone without a google law education break down the NC court process and the conviction/whatnot? 

 

I see a ton of people defending Hardy which is understandable if you don't think he did it, but I'm just looking to see why people are likening his earlier trial/preceding akin to kangaroo court.

North Carolina, like some states, has a two-tiered criminal system. Lower level cases, including infractions, almost all misdemeanors and most Class H & I felonies – can be resolved in District Court, which is the lower of two levels.

 

If a person wants to have a trial on a misdemeanor or an infraction, that trial will almost always occur first in District Court (unless the case has been indicted), and in that case the person will appear before a judge for arraignment and a trial as part of what’s known as a Bench Trial.

 

Felonies cannot be tried by judge in North Carolina. If a person wishes to resolve a felony in District Court, the person can do so, but must plead guilty. There may be many reasons to plead guilty to a felony in District Court, rather than demand a jury trial in Superior Court.

 

Upon an appeal, the District Court Judge has a limited opportunity (described elsewhere on this blog) to impose a new bond – called an Appeal Bond – designed to ensure the person is not a danger to the community or and that the person appears for his or her Superior Court court dates.

 

If the case is sent to Superior Court, what happens to the judgment?

 

The judgment is set aside. It is a nullity. The case returns to “pending” status and remains that way until one of several things happens in Superior Court.

 

1. The person is found guilty or not-guilty by a Superior Court Jury
2. The person decides to withdraw the appeal and remand the case from Superior Court back to District Court, which in DWI cases requires a new sentencing hearing.
3. The person decides to plead guilty in Superior Court, and is sentenced in Superior Court by a judge.
4. The State dismisses the case in Superior Court.

If you’re being sentenced in other states, those states should not count a District Court conviction that has been appealed as a criminal conviction. It should be regarded as a nullity.

I'll add that Hardy's suspended sentence/probation/no contact order would constitute the Appeal Bond that is referenced in the post I also quoted for your reading pleasure.

 

Google lawyer LOL, more like reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

Beach it's because the judge presiding over him was Female and in an elected position. There is a theory that she would hold a bias against him to represent the views of her constituency. 

 

Also Hardy's lawyer used the "kangaroo court" like a preseason football game. It was basically a practice run for the real trial. Hardy's lawyers wanted to see the arguments from the state and the testimony from the witnesses and then buy time to gather evidence or formulate an argument to nullify them.

 

Hardy is facing an uphill battle because virtually any physical contact on his part, even a push, is considered assault. It doesn't help that he was a 6'4" 285lb black man with an eccentric personality. But even if you believe he is 100% guilty, there is nothing more American then letting the justice system gather all the facts and have trial by a jury of your peers.
