I said he may not be guilty in this situation but I was referring to your comments about him being a target.
Understood.
I only see him hurting himself.
Not others.
Now the incident he was suspended for?
It clearly seemed the NFL has redefined what is a suspendable offense and how it will handle in the future.
It's too late to help Zeke but they may in the future change their decision about it.
As I recall Zeke had no criminal conviction over it. It was a civil matter.. Hard to imagine anybody being ruffled over that.
If you have ever been to court , you know what a kangaroo situation it is.
I lost a small civil suit against a guy a couple of years ago. I had prepared my defense, came to court and the judge opens the procedure and says she is running behind nd is only allowing each side 3 minutes to state their case.
I immediately objected saying there should not be a limit to my time to present..I had waited 6 months to try the case.
Judge said "over ruled" and the whole matter took 5 minutes. I won $1200 on the case but had to refund $600 to the client becuz the judge had to divide proceeds. I objected and the judge said I could appeal with civil court where I would have to hire an attorney in order to appeal.
I knew she was going to say this as nobody is going to appeal on $600 and hire an attorney at $400/hr. Plus court costs.
I was losing right from the get go.
I hate the way the process works.
So I understand how Zeke feels.
I felt I had been a target in the whole thing.
During the entire estate sale the brother and sister argued everyday over something they did not want to sell. I had them coming in after the sale and putting tags on stuff saying "do not sell" and I removed it becuz I do not allow people to change the inventory once a sale begins.
They pitched a fit but I sent them to my website which clearly talks about removing items from sale. Their contract clearly says the terms and conditions on the website are part of any written agreement.
They had not bothered to read the website. When I told this to the judge at the hearing, she said she had no time to read my website. She ruled and it was up to me to proceed or not.
I was stunned this was the game being played.
I say all this becuz you can not rely on a judge to do things correctly. And you can not rely on people to tell or be truthful.
I hope Zeke gets it worked out.
I still think he is a target here because of who he is.
