Recapping What We Know After Greg Hardy’s First Court Appearance (BBR)

[jarhead]

Hardy's legal problems are not as bad as it seems but it may have cost him a contract with the Panthers

If she had told the cops that he had loaded automatic weapons loaded in his apartment when they first arrived and they found him to be inebriated at that time there is zero, nada, nilch percent chance that they'd let him go back into that apartment and then turn himself in later. He'd have been arrested on the spot and they would have used that as PC to enter his apartment.

If she said something about guns, it was well after the fact.

I agree

Infinity pie and fedora tips to you, sir. This is as obvious as the time 7 women from across the country got together and victimized poor Darren Sharper. Some people just can't face facts: NFL players do not mistreat women.

They are different sitiation with no bearing on each other. What exactly are you trying to say here?

[csx]

she doesn't have to press charges. She could beg them not to, but it's up to the officers responding, and they still can.

Officers don't press charges. The DAs office does so based on their report.

Its kind of surprising how badly people misunderstand how this operates.

There are three ways that charges can be made and only two in this situation since it is not something you simply get a ticket for. Neither the police nor the victim press charges. Only the prosecutor or a Grand Jury can.

Here is one of the endless explanations found online.

Pretty much. Hardy's life is changed forever, no matter what happens next.

If he's guilty of any of this, how do you bring him back to a locker room?

What do you say to a teammate whose life has been affected by domestic violence in some way?

It's an incredibly difficult situation.

Um. He didn't kill someone. Geeze.

He has not been convicted

Let's see what happens.

And I'm pretty sure if tiger can have 18 girlfriends, Kobe rape a woman and Ray Lewis (enough said) the kraken will be ok.

Maybe this is what he needed as a great reality check in life!

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
