RE: Joe Mixon Court 8/14 - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 08-14-2023
If you don’t have enough chewing gum for the rest of the courtroom . . .
I’m hoping there is some video that removes all doubt one way or the other.

The alleged victim is already on cross-examination by Joe's lawyer.
An important fact is that she claims the gun...which she never really saw completely...was in Joe's left hand...he's right handed.
She claims he cut her off, she honked, he slammed on his brakes. She said she was afraid something was going to happen so she followed him to take a picture of his license plate, then she pulled along side of him and shot him the finger.

Well, unless he was riding in the passenger seat, it would be difficult to point a weapon out the window with the right hand, especially while steering the vehicle with the left.

Which one is his pimp hand he used to smack women in the past that resulted in his arrest? Asking for her attorney. Objection? Okay, withdrawn.
Been watching a lot of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix with my wife.

sounds like from the testimony there was plenty of road rage to go around. The defense is pounding on the fact that in her statement she stated numerous times that she was angry but never once said she was scared. If Joe in fact pulled a gun, he can claim he was afraid since she was following him and aggressively yelling at him. But we'll see how it goes since we've only heard from her. The prosecution will have their go against Joe

Kinda what i was thinking, if you are scared for your life, you wouldn't normally catch up to that person and give them the bird as you drove by...
If there's no clear Video, then it's pretty much a he said she said and will likely end up being tossed.
RE: Joe Mixon Court 8/14 - pally - 08-14-2023
She claimed she was terrified. The defense asked her when she became terrified...she didn't know. Just reading through her testimony it sounded like she was POed not scared

I don't think that a right-handed person holding a gun in his left hand is that important. Not if the claim is menacing and not shooting. Do we know if the police found a gun in his car?

And, if Mixon does get a significant suspension, Zeke Elliott is no longer available, having signed with the Patriots for one year on a $3 million base salary, $1 million signing bonus, and up to $6 million in incentives.
I was kind of hoping for him over Mixon anyway, given that Elliott can pass block. Last year he had a 97.8% pass block efficiency, according to PFF, which put him 3rd best among running backs.

There’s no video. It’s her word against his and no witnesses

I don't really care if he is as explosive of a threat running the ball as they once were because, yes, even as Joe said to Joe in game the one time, teams can't beat us when we run the ball well, but you know when teams also can't beat us? When we protect Joe because he picks defenses apart.
Dalvin's not a good pass protector either, so I'd have to pass on him but might be better than Mixon.
Zeke is a hell of a pass protector and that might be his best asset right now. People are already talking about how they're going to miss that aspect of his game in Dallas.
Have Chase Brown be our early down back and have Zeke come in on passing downs to block and catch the ball out of the backfield. Also bring in Zeke for short yardage to pound a few home. Seems too perfect to ignore.
They both make about the same and I think Zeke would even take a pay cut to extend his career here and chase a ring. Sign him for three years, with the third year being a team option, at 7 or 8 per and that still leaves him in the top ten of running back contracts while being guaranteed a good shot at a ring.
Pretty simple the coaches wanted him and the key players on the team. And I forgot the Browns and Blackburns. End of story.

With Dalvin on the Jets, I can't help but wonder about Izzy Abanikanda. Will he make their 53? Probably, but only because they've got some injuries to overcome early on (including Cook's shoulder). Even so, lotta cooks in the kitchen. Breece, Dalvin, Carter, Izzy... figure something's gotta give.

I agree b/c usually in these situations both parties are at fault. I think it's going to boil down to her word against his, and any other prior acts or convictions will not be allowed to be presented to the jury.
Joe Mixon Court 8/14 - The D.O.Z. - 08-15-2023
From what I’ve seen covered on local news, SHE was the aggressor. Saying she was scared, but followed him closely to snap pics of his license plate and flip him off. “Scared” people don’t do that. ANGRY people do though! Just another road rage case they’re making a mountain out of a molehill with. A waste of everyone’s time and tax payer money, something Hamilton Co. is great at.

I can shoot almost as well left handed as I can right handed. It's a skill that can honestly be learned a lot faster than most people would think. Not saying that's the case here, but it's something to consider.

Exactly. Scared people get away from what they are scared of, they don't follow what they are scared of to flip it off. This woman is full of BS. Sounds to me like she was the aggressor, and once she figured out it was Mixon is after $$$$

In fairness, fear typically generates a fight or flight response. Acting aggressively doesn't mean she wasn't scared.

Bench trial almost guarantees an acquittal since the judge is more likely to go off the evidence, or lack thereof, than a jury with emotional issues. The Preosecution will have to meet the "Beyond a reasonable doubt" standard with the judge. From what I hear of the evidence. I doubt that's possible.

Mixon was reduced to save himself from being released. He wasn't retained as that would mean keeping him under his current contract.
Re-signed. Not resigned. Those two do not mean the same thing.
Wilcox re-signed this year. He didn't resign.
Nixon resigned after Watergate. He didn't re-sign.

Fight usually only occurs when there is no option for flight. She had plenty of option to turn and go the opposite way instead of chasing him and flipping him the bird. Do you really believe she was so scared of Mixon flipping him the bird was a reasonable option? No, she was just mad.
