Will Randle be suspended 6 games?

I agree. But we're talking about Goodell. And there are apparently two 911 calls that corroborate the initial DV report. Also, youll note that the DA so far has just declined to pursue felony charges. Misdemeanor charges are still an option. Who knows how Goodell will view this.

Goodell isn't God and I understand your point, it would take time to fill an appeal and go through courts that way. It's a crazy mess and I feel if not convicted then no suspension

I could be wrong, but the CSI division of the NFL does not need a conviction to impose a penalty as part of the DV policy.

Exactly.

I bet he does get suspended.

Has anyone looked into this? This is nothing like the Hardy case from what I remember.

From what was reported, there were no physical markings of injury on the 'victim'. The alleged gun wasn't found either so it became very he said she said. So there's the broken window thing where randle allegedly punched out the window-- there would have to be a good amount of evidence from that... Like a bruised or cut up hand. And, again, from what I remember I'm not even sure there was a broken window.

Lastly, she was the one that approached the situation. Showed up at his hotel very late night, probably looking to cause drama.

Unless there was something that wasn't reported, there's less to go on than the McDonald case which was recently dismissed by the NFL.

I think this has already been discussed and the charges have been dismissed. What the League might do, I honestly don't know how they could do much at all but I guess anything is possible the way the league is doing things these days.

Here is what the DA said

“After reviewing the extensive investigation conducted by the Wichita Police Department, including witness interviews and analyzing available evidence, we concluded there is a lack of evidence sufficient to support felony charges against Mr. Randle,” Sedgwick County district attorney Marc Bennett said Wednesday morning in a statement. “The sufficiency of proof required in a criminal case is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. We find the nature of the available evidence in this instance is insufficient to meet that burden as to felony charges.”

To me, the fact that they found no proof to even support a "reasonable doubt" is telling.

Evidently, the NFL does not use the same standard of proof in their investigation(s).

If the team expresses interest in retaining him, I'm sure that the league will push for 6 games.

I think you mean that Mara will push for 6 games.

Go ask Goddell...

This is only a topic because of the stupid precedent the NFL set in suspending a player for ten games for a misdemeanor offense that was later dismissed just fort the PR value of having a suspension. By the available evidence, Randle had relationship troubles more than he had an domestic violence issue.

I think you mean that Mara will push for 6 games.

Is there a difference between the two at this point?

The bolded part sounds a lot like the Hardy case, only difference was the use of drugs before going over to his apartment looking to cause drama by the victim in the Hardy case
