Jourdan Lewis - not guilty

[gimmesix]

That was prior to the draft so think he's in the clear (not 100 on this)?

Should be, but it doesn't always appear that the rules are applied the same by the commissioner.

Ezekiel Elliot says hi

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

He's offically the steal of the draft...

Yeah, that's just your common sense talking. Goodell thinks he has carte blanche to discipline anything NFL players did back to the days they were in the proverbial womb.

Get to work, son.

He will after a two-game suspension for his alleged crime. Carry on.

 

[Fletch]

Pure awesome! LOL

What was in THAT pillow? Talk about lunar orbit trajectory...

Pads have yet to come on so not yet...

 

[Gaede]

Can't wait for Lewis to play.

What a major steal he'll prove to be

 

[Parcells4Life]

a LOT of teams are now going to wish they took him in 1st

I'm wondering why the prosecution never addressed the hands aground the neck or the dragging her around.

More than likely the defense found a way to disallow it. Perhaps the prosecution did not have any evidence to support the allegation or the evidence was tainted (procedurally/physically) somehow.

I doubt he'll get suspended. There's no bases for a suspension, particularly with a not-guilty verdict. And, no, Goodell can't arbitrarily suspend him if he has committed no actions that violate the NFL's code of conduct or behavior. A woman accusing you of domestic violence when there's no evidence and no ruling supporting the claim is not sufficient grounds for a suspension.
And please don't bring up Hardy. A judge ruled Hardy had committed DV, and the case was thrown out because the witness disappeared so the case did not go forward. Furthermore, Hardy AGREED to the suspension.

 

[mattjames2010]

I'm not making fun of the alleged victim, but this came to mind when I heard domestic violence and "pillow fight" together.

 

[viman96]

What no Breaking News on BSPN front page that Lewis was found not guilty?

 

[popp1234]

The headline will soon read, "Jourdan Lewis - not guilty. NFL will launch its own investigation".

The case was he said she said to begin with. There was no pictures taken of injuries at the time of the incident. It wasn't until two days later that pictures were taken and those were on her hands.

AND the officers involved saw no neck bruising either. The neck bruising had no substantiating evidence at all beyond her claims.

Of course the Michigan homer posts that the Michigan criminal ...allegedly....got off.

EE may receive a suspension on a claim that didn't even go to trial. Don't underestimate Goodell's incompentance.
