Greg Hardy's trial might not happen until next year

[R0CKnR0LLA]

 

Legal experts said his trial, tentatively scheduled for the week of Nov. 17, may not take place until much later. They point out that there are hundreds of domestic violence cases older than Hardy's. "Every single victim of domestic violence wants to have their case heard," said Charlotte defense attorney Brad Smith. "I've got cases that are years old that are still making their way up to the front of the line."

 

From the backlog of cases, prosecutors will choose roughly 30 defendants to essentially be on stand-by for the November week when Hardy's case is scheduled. If Hardy even makes that list, he still faces long odds on getting his case before a jury.

 

That could push Hardy's case into next year at the earliest. "If it's treated like any other case Greg Hardy could be sitting around this time next year still waiting on his date in court," Smith said.

He could end up waiting a year or more from date of the incident. So much for the 6th amendment guaranteeing a speedy jury trial.

I don't think he should have to sit out over a year of his nfl career.  I think that after 6 games of sitting out, he should be allowed back on the field as per the NFL rules.

Seems like someone has been warning of this often.....

The Panthers already announced that he won't play until his case is resolved, so that's not going to happen. Amazingly he would have missed less games if he plead guilty than if he goes to trial and is found innocent. That's insane.

This is excessive punishment and the carolina panthers organization should be ashamed.how,can they justify more than a 6 game suspension???

[magnus]

this was news after the first trial.  Carolina should punish him the six games and bring him back, ride his ass for all he's worth, and knock him out the door soon after.

If he does miss the whole year, would anyone be opposed to bringing him back on a cheap, one year deal?
