I am wrong if the attorneys don’t go there. We’ll see. 

GO WHERE?  Like what in the hell are you talking about man lol

Like all you keep saying is "they will victim blame" but what does that even mean my guy?  And exactly how would that work when it is all on camera? 

He's facing 5 felony charges.  How is an attorney going to "victim blame" all 5 of those away? 

This isn't even a Ray Rice situation.  Brother was arrested on the spot and had to be pinned down by several officers.  Like, they literally caught him in the act.  Again, if that didn't happen?  You are probably right he'd get off.  But it did happen.  He's going to jail.

Also keep in mind that hitting a cop is a big no-no.  He's lucky they didn't shoot him.  There will be a lot of pressure on the DA to make sure Pearce sees some jail time.

Good lord I have tried to say okay we’ll see but that apparently isn’t good enough for you. I am done with you on this.

They have to defend the indefensible. See what they do. 

They only so many ways I can parse what these attorneys do in these modern times we are in. And if you can’t see it, I can’t see it for you.

People don’t seem to get that I am not defending this guy or impugning the victim or the police (outside of that photo lol), but that I am pointing out the sad state of the legal process and low ethics of attorneys these days.  
I am not arguing facts of the case, and am pointing that these ambulance chasers disregard facts and make up these narratives because sucker juries sometimes have such great biases that they nullify. The attorneys go for their Hail Marys and it happens nearly every damned week in the news. With a judge or a DA not charging, releasing, and juries ignoring the law because they take a side on an issue.  It is a common and predictable game plan and I am saying don’t be surprised at the absurdities these attorneys try to pass off as reality. 

The popular strategy is turn the criminal into the victim. 
Facts never get in the way of these fugers arguing for bullshit when it comes to the police. Who I am not a fan of and don’t trust fwiw but all you have to do is observe and you will see them do it. 


As far as punishment, the league has been less lenient than judges in most of these cases. So I expect them to drop the hammer.

 

Actually I might have been pondering how a guy with millions of his own and a big time fancy car throws it all away on LaWanda. 

Oh I know you’re not defending him, an I’m not even talking about league or legal punishments.

But DV and hitting a police officer with his car, are the type of crimes that regardless of NFL or legal punishments, I think it’s the type of thing that would keep teams from ever signing him in the future

The league has been very tough on those issues, when their hand has been forced. They tried to sweep Ray Rice under the carpet at first. 
But even pansy ass Goodell has been tougher than the US legal system on them.
 

He doesn’t really have the presumption of innocence and the constitutional protections to adhere to, nor does he have to contend with juries. And insane, unethical (imo) attorneys. 

Who don’t seem to be very consistent, let me put it that way. They are easily swayed by dog and pony shows and celebrity lately. 

I could be surprised but I expect the guy to have a better shot with the justice system than with the league. 
 

Better a Falcon in that seat than a Panther, for sure. Blank got hosed by Fontenot and to maybe a lesser degree, Morris. There were some truly boneheaded decisions made by that regime. (bless their hearts).

Also, one argument Pearce’s side could make, don't know if would fly, is if the league suspends him before he has his day in court, they would be negatively impacting his ability to hire the best defense attorneys he could hire. (Loss of income)

And that a suspension should only be implemented after a guilty verdict or plea.  
I don’t think that will work.

I don't know. The NFL makes up their own rules, particularly under the personal conduct policy. I wouldn't expect him to play much next season, even if he hasn't had his day in court.

Yes I was. And I have clearly said I expect them to be tough on him. I couldn’t remember the exempt list, they put Hardy on that for quite some time if I recall.

Well yeah I have said the NFL was tougher than the legal system historically and I only offered it up as a possible argument his side could use. I can’t think of anything else they could try. (I wasn’t advocating for him). 
 

Heck I said way back this is worse than what Hardy did, not defending Hardy this is just that poo on steroids.
