in the begining on your post, you mention how Lewis and Lewis are stars...and that matters. But later on, you mention how much the DA's would love to nab a NFL player because it would be like their Superbowl. That's inconsistent.
Considering the conflicting stories between Taylor pulling a gun 1st, and Taylor actually being SHOT at 1st, without him firing back.
I agree that this spoiled, overpaid, 2nd year player will plea down to a lesser charge....or do something like Jamal Lewis where he'd serve time AFTER the season is over.
Something like that.
I wasn't doing anything more than making two statements that I feel are true. You make it sound like I contradicted myself and so my argument wasn't valid.
*I think it might matter that Lewis & Lewis are stars. I'm not sure but it might. That's a true statement.
*I think that the DA's office would love to nab Taylor and make an example out of him. I believe that to be true as well.
Those two statements do conflict a bit... but I feel that both could be right.
The DA's office could love to put Taylor away, while the jury could be wowed a little by a real life NFL star. That way both of the above statements hold true.
You assumed I meant that the DA's office would let him off light if he were a star... but that's not what I meant at all. It could help with public perception, with the jury, or heck, even with the judge. But I really think the DA's office is gonna want to "win"... and they do that by sending him to jail.
I don't think Taylor being an NFL player will help him out one iota with the DA's office... that wasn't what I meant.
