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.

 

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.

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
