Hardy Case Dismissed

From what I remember from my Criminal Justice classes, it takes a lot more proof to convict in a criminal case than it does a civil case. So, since the DA didn't have the witness or most likely enough other proof to get past the 90% doubt threshold, it was dismissed.

 

Now, we take the civil case, which requires a lot lower standard of proof to reward a judgment settlement. IIRC, it's like 65% or so in layman's terms, for burden of proof in comparison. Not saying this is the case here, but this may very well be a situation where there was not enough evidence to convict criminally, so his case is dismissed, but there was enough for a civil award, so his team settled.

 

Add in that FA is right around the corner, it could even be that the civil case most likely would have been won, but would have been a long, drawn out affair that would have been ongoing throughout the period, and his lawyers pushed the settlement to finish it all up before then, as others have said. 4 million in order to make a potential 50 million or more? Yeah, I'd pay that, even though I was innocent. It's the smart thing to do, and I'm sure Drew was telling him that.

Voth is probably the best source available for Panther info right now. That he has good contacts and sources within the organization is something pretty much no one doubts. Zod has testified plenty to that fact.

If you wanna say he's wrong, show some evidence that contradicts him.

If all you've got is you vs Voth, afraid you lose.

Well I can't argue against Voth apparently. Seems airtight.

 

You win again.

Paying Holder to stay away.........and reduce the heat from the burner that the media turned up to high..

 

Isn't that the same thing Goodell did with the commish list?          Paying players to stay away,  and hope the national media forgets about it.  ?

 

Dude, this is awesome.  I hadn't drawn that parallel yet.
