How much money would it have taken to change your mind about the case?

[TimTom]

Where did the 3 month figure come from. A quick search suggests that domestic assault cases typically don't go longer than 2 days. This one might go longer but certainly not 3 months.

 

This article suggests "2 days or longer"

 

This wasn''t the OJ trial.

 

I'm with you here.  I've wasted enough "breath" trying to defend Hardy's due process on here to those ignant of such trivial things.  Anyways, it's over and it was literally a clusterfug from every angle you look at it.  No justice was served, Hardy has to make a settlement to hurry along the process so his future earning potential is not devastated with a prolonged circus trial.  Don't know if he did all, half, none, etc of what Holder claimed.  Don't care.  It was straight fugged from the beginning when the talking heads needed something to move the needle.  Never forget, Hardy PLAYED this season and nothing changed except a Ray Rice video being released by TMZ.   Fug it.

 

edit - to keep it OT, I'd say 10% chance of conviction x 13mil = 1.3M ... 300K upfront, remainder after dismissal

I'm guessing something like 6 games salary x the possibility that he is found guilty. Probably took into account the amount he might lose in a civil case.

 

$175k

Even if he lost in a civil trial, what would that have really set him back, legal fees aside?  Does anyone really think a jury would have given her a million for the "damages" she sustained?  I get the 175K in "go-away" money, but the real risk would have been to his next contrat.

Honestly wish the trial would have happened. If guilty, I feel better about the Panthers not re-signing him. However, I believe he had a good chance of being found innocent, as long as the jury wasn't full of feminazis.

 

Now people can just keep making the excuse that he was found guilty on that bs bench "trial".

Agree. Probably not much

I believe that the facts of the case as told by the police as well as Hardy and the evidence submitted make this look like extortion and blackmail more than a true incident of domestic violence.
