Talib’s First Judgement Day Comes May 18

The good folks at the Dallas County District Attorney’s office told JoeBucsFan.com yesterday that a grand jury will hear the case against Aqib Talib on May 18 at 9 a.m.

If the grand jury returns a felony indictment, then the case would move to district court. Rachael Jones, the prosecutor assigned to the case, did not return calls seeking comment. (Must be a Cowboys fan).

Simply stated, the grand jury will review evidence in the state’s case and decide whether to indict Talib or give a thumbs down on the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge against him.

Talib has no right to testify, but could be subpoenaed as a witness. His attorney would not necessarily be present or involved beyond being able to advise Talib. The proceedings are closed to the public — online or in person — and the happenings are not available for review.

Attorney Bryan Hannan, of the esteemed Dolman Law Group, said Talib won’t appear before the grand jury and there’s little doubt Talib will be indicted.

“Talib will 100 percent not be called as a witness. The old adage is a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. All they’re saying is there’s enough evidence to go forward,” Hannan said.

It sounds like Aqib is gonna testify against his mother, no doubt so she can keep the gravy train running. If he is indicted, I see a lengthy suspension coming and the possibility of being released by the Bucs.

If he gets convicted, he's facing 18 months Minimum with no possibility of parole(he discharged a firearm while committing a crime)

Anybody know what happened to him yet?

The grand jury will decide this Wendsday, the original date was pushed back due to a more serious crime that took place.

My guess is he goes to trail and plea bargains his charges down, probably gets 12-18 months.

Gonna testify against your ma? Sh*t, I couldn't do it but I'm not in his position. I guess she knows what's up...take the fall and she's still able to live good no matter the consequences.

Edit: I see the TB front office and his teammates want him gone. He's gonna have to make his money, if he's able to, with another team.

I dont want him to go to jail, so hopefully he beats this. He's really got to get his life together and make better decisions. Gotta mature and change the mindstate he's in.

Why don't you want someone who fired a gun at another human to go to jail?

With his past, you think he's going to learn his lesson with another warning?

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
