But he had some charges dropped nearly 2 decades ago versus being caught on camera committing the offense 2 years ago. There was plenty of outrage... 17 years ago, and there continues to be outrage today.
For some, the fact that he was never put on trial for the crime is enough to completely move past it. Aside from reminding people that he wasn't convicted of murder nor did he plead guilty to it, I steer clear of him. Same reason I never got a Suggs jersey, and those are just allegations against him. I'm more of a Reed person. Just a good guy. I have his jersey but I don't wear it any more since he signed it. I also have Flacco, Torrey, and Tucker's jerseys. Guys you know/knew would stay out of trouble.
Then again, I had Rice's jersey too (before I threw the fake away and kept the real one in its packaging and traded it for Torrey's).
Here we go again.
I guess I need to remind you that he wasn't found guilty, nor did he plea guilty, because the prosecution was stupid and let him role over on his two friends and make a deal, to which they still couldn't even find the friends guilty of murder.
Besides for the guys that were murdered, there were three people there, and two were found not to have done it, leaving only one person to have committed the murder, and that's Ray Lewis. Or do you think the prosecution said "you know what? Murder isn't that bad of a crime, so let's just let this one go"?
Mixon is remorseful and the girl has forgiven him because she realizes that she was at fault, too, but have Ray Lewis's victims forgiven him?
Oh, wait................
