You resort to name calling?  Seriously?  Are you 12?

 

It's not a name.  You're a newb with less then 80 post.  You probably just signed up here to troll the Hardy topic. 

 

One again.....because of NC law Hardy wasn't able to plead not guilty and get his trial.  If Hardy was truly guilty he would have been sentence by the judge and the sentence would have been effective immediately.  Any other state that wasn't just trying to save money and he would still be "innocent."

Mentioned Stewie and Cam playing well.

Disappointed a little in defense for not getting outs on 3rd down as much as he'd like.

Hardy situation will be evaluated. "Fluid situation"

DG doing due diligence today on teams options.

Hardy said he understood deactivation, Ron allowed him to go home yesterday. On time today for meetings.

Said he, JR, and DG made decision. All internal to team.

No decision as of now, but will be full participant in practice and meetings this week.

Play him and you win, you don't have a conscience. Play him and you lose, he's a distraction.

Team investigation ongoing.

Tolbert ok, a little sore. Fozzy pulled quad, week to week. Deangelo worked out today. Gerry Williams worked out today. Tolbert took shot that knocked the wind out of him.

Little concerned about KBs drops, concentration issue, but loved big catch. Working on details.

Thinks D will get even better. Mentioned Melvin and Cason by name as having good game.

 

 

Thanks OP for the recap.

What's his sentence then? 

 

 

 

This sentence, which would most likely also include a No Contact Order, are likely the terms of his Appeal Bond as dictated by North Carolina Code of Law.  His appeal immediately NULLIFIES the bench trial decision (see nullity in the dictionary).  He is now awaiting his jury trial, which is a trial de novo (see new, from Latin, in the dictionary).  No previous decisions hold.  No prior evidence holds.  No testimony, whatever, holds.  

 

Another way to look at it is this: If you look up Greg Hardy in a background check, a public records request, etc, nothing will come up related to this case.  If a police officer runs Greg Hardy's name on the National Criminal Database, the computer in his car which gives more information, it will come back as arrested/charged on the misdemeanors.  No plea, no decision, no sentencing. 

 

His current legal status is neither convicted nor guilty.  His current legal status is PENDING.  That's not just some word or an argument over semantics.  That is his adjudication's current disposition.  And due process is still being administered.  He, being a United States citizen and a legal resident of the state of North Carolina, is innocent until proven guilty.  In this case, his guilt or innocence can ONLY be determined now by a jury trial.  

 

Some helpful links -> NC Publication on Courts (.pdf) or a legal firm's website take on it.

 

Caveat Emptor - I am not a lawyer.  This is my understanding of the various resources available relative to court proceedings like this.  My understanding could be wrong or, more frankly, just not matter.  I think the latter is the case.

Stop it, just stop it.. We can play legal semantics all day long but he was found guilty by a judge. He asked for a bench trial, it was granted and he was found guilty. I know he did it, you know he did it and he knows he did it. I'm over it, I've moved on, so should you. At the end of the day, Hardy hung around with cocaine addicts and the lot he ran with caught up to him.

I think it's telling, and accurate that Rivera said (paraphrasing) "Play him and win the game you're insensitive.... Play him and lose, he's a distraction"

It was a no-win for the team if he played, so for the better of the franchise, he was inactive. I'm still wondering what the labor agreement says about this. I really think we can't suspend him yet, but the NFLPA isn't volunteering the information because it makes them look bad and the NFL in the mean time is letting the Panthers twist in the wind.

Here's a question.....Is it possible to offer her a settlement? Would it be prudent to give her a Prada purse loaded with cash so she doesn't show up at the next court date, withdraw/recant her testimony, or no longer cooperate with the prosecutor? It's happened before. I'm not saying it's right but when you look at how much Hardy would lose being suspended 6 games and the whole media snit storm surrounding these circumstances, if I were him...I'd look at all my options - which includes giving Ray Donovan a call.

We go 2-0 for the first time since 2008 but obviously they're far more better things to talk about.....

 

I don't know why I thought of it while reading this post...we had a little distraction on that team to.  If you don't remember, Smitty was suspended for the first 2 games of that season for pounding Ken Lucas's face in.

The same year we lost in the playoffs in the game "that shall not be spoken".

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
