His lawyer is going to tell him to cooperate and plead out as early as possible to get a lower level charge. He is not going to get convicted of the Class B.

Immediate advice he's gotten be given, based on my way limited knowledge, but he's still seeing prison time if he pleas NC.

And yes to someone who asked - the NFL still has the car service available, and you get charged as an organization. The organization can either charge the players or eat the cost. Nearly NONE of the players use it, but I've met one of the drivers one evening and they're all security detail as well. So they have UBER drivers who carry guns but are retired military/police etc.

Even if the org makes you pay for it yourself, you're worth tens of millions. $500 for a pickup every friday is what, 25k? Cmon man.

Was this ever proven? He very well could have been jaywalking but wasn't it just Stallworth's drunken word on that? He also claimed to have flashed his lights at the guy to warn him which seems odd.

Yes, Stallworths case pretty clearly showed the old dude Jay walked and ran into the road hopping a barrier. That’s textbook.

He's hosed. There are a few places in America where DUIs get pled down but that's largely a relic of entrenched good old boy culture and the former difficulty of proving impairment.

He's hosed on the evidence. DUI evidence collection has been idiot-proofed to an insane degree.They probably have a blow if they contacted him at the scene. They absolutely have his blood. Challenging a blow is difficult enough, but good loving luck with a blood draw too.

He's hosed on a goodwill plea. There's no hemming and hawing about evidence and there's a legit citizen victim with a family and a city full of have somes with zero sympathy for the rich kid with the fancy car.

Challenging a blow isn’t difficult whatsoever depending on quite a few circumstances.

For one, most precincts forget to update their software, and the intoxilizer (been 9 years since i handled a crim defense thing so forgive bad memory) has weird accuracy issues if you don’t update the software

You’re dead on about blood though.

Are you sure of this? How does this work? They have this setup in every city with an NFL team? They have this setup in cities that players are likely to visit on their off days or during bye weeks? Who is going to run a car service in god knows how many cities across America and have it hardly get used.

They sub contract out. Every one of these nice car services, even with the protection aspect, exists for people other than players.

As for the accuracy… this was 2 years ago and the driver was driving for someone that y’all loving *hate* but was a higher $ player, going to a charity golf event held by my buddy’s grandpa. Player and driver both said it’s available via NFLPA so not sure if that means you’ve gotta be active roster to get it or?

My dude intoxoilizers are three gens behind the current hand held models that get automatically plug and play tested and recertified as accurate against a known sample nightly. The machines (excuse me, instruments) are smarter than most cops and will catch and correct procedural fuckups. There's a reason the pro move a few years ago became "refuse all tests, gently caress the consequences" and even that's been countered. Most counties over 10,000 have an on-call magistrate that will authorize a blood draw at the first sign of reindeer games.

Holy moly. How things have changed.

And yeah tbf in Florida the pro move has always been to say no to every test. Im curious if thats changed in the past few years.

Do you do crim def in NV?

As far a I know (I am not a lawyer anymore) it is still always better in florida to refuse to blow as first refusal results in the same license suspension that a dui would. This may also be the case for second refusal but I’d have to look things up and can’t be bothered to do so right now.

I forgot you made a move. Financial sector ?

Chuds? If you're not being hypocritical you're likely viewed as a weirdo in America in general. It's a national identity at this point.

Mayock's side is it was totally just 'a football decision' maybe having to do with Gruden trying to make him a running back for some godawful reason. So you trade your new pick for less than you just used to take him in the middle of the covid season where you don't really get to work with him like you normally would, obviously.

Coincidentally the DEA raided his grandmother's house he was staying at (made no arrests and filed no charges although they seized some registered firearms). Bowden says he made a call to his special teams coach who was in a meeting with the other coaches that didn't realize he was on the line:

I don't know, it sounds like the Raiders got scared of his history which is currently funny/sad considering other Raiders stuff and cut bait. Here's a very long article on Bowden that i haven't completely read https://www.golongtd.com/p/lynn-bowden-jr-is-free-look-out-nfl

Anyway in less annoying Lynn Bowden stuff let's all watch this stupid play from high school again.
