NFLPA leaning toward filing Hardy appeal

[Rogah]

Stop it Rogah. Don't ignore what I just put in your face and pretend it did not happen. Hardy isn't at training camp a free man today because the justice system failed... quite the contrary. The District Attorney dropped the charges because the case against Hardy was too weak to uphold. The one trail we had to completion was a farce of expedient convenience and always intended to be corrected at the jury trail... we didn't even get that far.

You want me to be reasonable? Same standard applies to you. The DA got a guilty verdict and dropped charges when the victim, for some reason stopped cooperating. He himself said that reason is because there was an out of court settlement, and it's pretty clear he wasn't happy about it.

I also think Hardy's a nut who's fairly unstable which is part of what makes him such a good football player. I think he's probably not all that bad a guy, and he's probably a good teammate and an ok risk for a long-term signing. But it's clear from how he's behaved and how the club has handled his offseason that he was responsible for some wrongdoing in this incident. From a purely football perspective, since it's why he was available to come to Dallas, there's a good and bad side to that that we just have to live with.

This opinion is substantiated by what evidence? I really want to know. I've seen absolutely nothing, aside from these DV allegations that Hardy is anything but an upstanding citizen. If you know something to the contrary then please speak your mind. If not then I believe you have just mischaracterized the man. The reason he was available to come to the Cowboys is plain and simple, society is not interested in equal protection under the law when it comes to the subject of domestic violence. The man is guilty until proven innocent... which is what happened on a grand scale in this case. When you have the district attorney proclaiming his innocence you know the bench trail verdict was a farce. He did something wrong? I don't see it. So show it to me. You're a bright guy so make the case. Hardy has never claimed any wrong doing in this case. Take the time to hear his side of what happen before you impugn the man's character like you just did.

Is this something new that I missed? I haven't heard anything close to that happening.

Actually, Hardy was a very difficult player for coaches to deal with at Ole Miss, which is why his first-round ability dropped to the sixth round. He may or may not have matured since then.

He was convicted of the crime, but it was thrown out because she bailed during the appeal. That's WAY different than being innocent. OJ was ruled innocent, and they had more evidence against him than any killer on death row.

Simply put, there's good reason why the Cowboys signed him for one year with a ton of protection provisions, and nobody else was really interested.

The DA didn't get...(I better watch my mouth). You are paraphrasing the DA's comments right after he dropped the charges. In subsequent interviews he has made it clear that was not the prevailing reason he decided not to move forward with the case, rather it was the contradicting statements by witnesses and the GF and no hard evidence that supports her claims. That includes the photos.

She never cooperated. She was hopped up on blow the night of. She spammed him with over a dozen texts that morning. She didn't go to the restraining order hearing the following day. She fired her first attorney the day after that. She had to be subpoenaed to testify at the first trial. She stated after said trial that they were still open to civil litigation at that time so we know she wasn't doing it for money to that point.

You have yet to address these facts. I bet a dollar you either ignore them again or try another red herring to change the subject.

The thread has nothing to do with discussing the old charges. The thread is closed before several of you get benched. We are not going to start the season off this way.
