If the victims got knocked out, how can you really trust them to have an accurate account of what happened? For all we know they got concussions, both of them said they didn't remember being hit. Those dude should have been put in concussion protocol.
I'm really amazed that this hasn't already been pleaded down to something like public intoxication, disturbing the peace, etc. The DA must feel that they have a compelling case against Revis at this point. Otherwise all that's really happening right now is strengthening the plaintiff's case in the civil suit to come.
Zacheriah Jarvis and Dallas Cousins. Those are black names. I call bullshit on that tape for that alone. In all seriousness, Darrelle will walk off into the sunset and have to pay two punks in a civil suit. No-one got shot or knifed, and that's a good thing. I've said it before. You can't make someone kiss the pavement and have no bruises on your hands. Pics? So, if I was Michael Baden, that's what I'd visit. It's never going to trial.
Exactly. I'm supposed to believe Revis felt threatened by two frat boys. This is a whitewash! #suckerpunchessowhite
Assaulting someone is a felony, but there are programs like accelerated rehab that can be used to plead it down, the problem is the league conduct policy. Revis is probably trying to figure out a way to get around a suspension from the league. It's not going to happen, he made his bed he needs to sleep on it.
I'm wondering if he's gotten bad advice from people who think he needs to protect himself in the potential civil suit by not admitting anything in the criminal proceedings? That would be really bad advice in my opinion.
its only been a week.pleas don't come that fast with high dollar lawyers. now, the d.a. had the phone for a week before they announced charges, i'm thinking they have the goods on the phone, still don't think revis goes to jail but he isn't going to be in a position to bargain when its time to take a deal
I hope you realize that that was rife with sarcasm. I have an incidental ethnic name, and I'm whiter than zinc white Winsor & Newton. Well, sometimes I prefer titanium white, buy I'll never quite understand why we can't just all get along.
A civil case is going to happen regardless of what happens with a criminal case. It's unavoidable, he has to fight for his innocence and not let a prosecutor make a name for himself on Revis name.
Yes, because accusing this scenario of whitewashing and the suckerpunchissowhite hashtag are clearly serious claims.
It could also be that the DA has no case, so there is no reason for Revis to plead guilty to lesser charges. No reason to assume they've got a compelling case when all evidence thus far has shown Revis is not responsible, and the dudes that got hit don't even remember getting hit, so how can you trust their testimony? You have a video so far that shows some guy,who is not Revis, admitting it on camera, that's pretty compelling. There is no evidence Revis told him to do it, no evidence that Revis took any hostile actions, etc unless it's being covered up. I bet most of these charges get thrown out of court and jets fans will continue to hate him until he plays decent again next year.
All charges were dropped. Revis's friend took the fall. He stated that he knocked the guys out after pulling them off of Revis, and that it was his voice on the video. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/15/charges-against-darrelle-revis-dismissed/
But to do what? I know there has been discussion of him playing safety, but he would not play over McCourty or Chung (or Duron Harmon for that matter). And that assumes that he is willing to put his nose in there and tackle more often than he seems to want to. His days as a starting front-line CB seem over. Maybe he could reinvigorate himself as a nickelback? He would need to leverage his best qualities -- football intelligence, technique -- and minimize his loss of speed. And that all assumes that he has enough passion to accomplish this reinvention. Seems more likely that he got his last, big contract at just the right time and that he will be moving on from the game soon.
Totally called it. Revis' friend admitted it. The video with Revis' friend talking is evidence that supports it and there was no evidence that supported any other accounts of the events. The terrorism and conspiracy were just bs filler charges. Revis is smarter than that. It would be funny if the Jets signed him back for cheap now as a safety, but I doubt it.
I'm done w/this muthereffer. Not a JET that I'll remember. He's like Moses to my Ramses. Someone point the leadership examples he had while he was here. I just don't see them. I know this a business and I always knew Revis was looking out for # 1, ---- but after all the $$ we paid him over the years & loyalty we showed, did he HAVE to say it would be a "dream come true" to play for the Steelers? Jeez, - sorry we held you back from your dream after all these years. I would think winning a Super Bowl for NYJ would have been the "dream come true". I'd be OK if he said playing for the hometown Steelers would be "pretty cool". Maybe I'm just a bit sensitive these days. I mean, ---- how many f--king times can we get knocked down????
