sonnyjim Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Greg Hardy's appeal of his second domestic violence conviction is pending. Hence the League's disipline is pending. The trial was a bench trial and now Hardy is requesting a jury trial. I wonder how long that will delay the inevitable. If they deny his request speedily and the League acts swiftly his suspension could be served before we face the Panthers in 9 weeks. The second time we play will be six weeks later in the last game of the season. League policy, llike our OL, seems to be in flux. Timing could be interesting.

At the rate the media is running with the Rice story he's liable to get the chair next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dabirds Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hardy and his lawyer are doing everything they can to delay his trial, which means the league won't act until his trail is complete. Hardy will play this entire season IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnyjim Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) "Likely" to miss the Falcons game? likely to miss a Falcons game, next year if not this.the NFL just suspended Rice without a conviction...The judicial process had done all that it was going to do before the League acted.Maybe hidden footage of Hardy will occur too She says he struck her, locked her in the bathroom, let her out and threw her onto the bed atop a pile of assault weapons with any one of which he claimed he could kill her.His lawyer submitted a tape of a call from Greg in which he claims he is trying to evade his wife who is pursuing him and threatening him with a high heel.This is dimly heard hearsay but the story has everything TMZ could want.

paulitik Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 the NFL just suspended Rice without a conviction...Rice settled so he couldn't be convicted, He had to participate in some kind of first time offenders program. He essentially plead guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of the Gaucho Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 pro athletes seem to always get court dates scheduled in their offseasonIt isn't hard to schedule court dates, especially appeals, a long way out.Rice settled so he couldn't be convicted, He had to participate in some kind of first time offenders program. He essentially plead guilty.Pre-trial diversion is like a guilty plea, but the matter is still technically pending. Generally if he doesn't screw up during whatever court ordered period he has been given, the judge will go back and withdraw his original guilty plea and dismiss the case. Technically he didn't plead guilty, but for the eyes of the NFL, it was enough.Now why Hardy isn't banned, after being found guilty at trial is beyond me. Yes there is an appeal, but Vick's lawyer had some procedural appeals I think after Vick took his plea, and punishment was still issued by the NFL.
