HENRY TO FACE SECOND TRIAL NEXT WEEK

Last week, the assault trial of former Bengals receiver Chris Henry resulted in a (well) hung jury, with six jurors concluding that the glove didn’t fit and two of them wanting to lock Henry up.
According to James Walker of ESPN.com, Henry will face a second trial, with a new jury, on July 14.
If acquitted, Henry will likely be reinstated to the NFL. If convicted, he might face permanent banishment.
Regardless of the outcome, Henry should be happy with the timing. It gives him a chance to put this unfortunate incident behind him so that he then can land with a new team early in training camp. Where he’ll no doubt be arrested yet again.
Unless he lands with the Cowboys. For whatever reason, owner Jerry Jones has implemented a structure that has kept his players out of trouble. Since we started tracking arrests and other entanglements in February 2007, the Cowboys are the only team a goose egg in Turd Watch.
