No sign of Hardy at practice today!

He did stand judgement... He was found guilty.

I know there is an appeals process, but the fact remains, he has been found guilty.

I will have to lose his presence on the field if he were to go, but I fully understand the call (and frankly, it should have already been made).

Guilty by a judge not a jury. Completely different.

good comment in the Florio article

 

Anyone who is from North Carolina know how screwed up the judicial system is here. Any citizen can go to the local magistrates office and take a warrant out on another citizen, with no evidence just a sworn statement. You are arrested and held for a bond hearing that can take 24 to 48 hours to get in front of a judge. Then you go to a bench hearing were you will almost always be found guilty and then an appeal is filed where then your get your trail. It is absolutely a screwed up ordeal to go through in NC. I have been through this and it took six months to clear my name. People here have begged the Governor and State house to change this law to put some burden of proof on the accuser. If your ex girlfriend wanted to she could have you arrested and held without bond for 48 hours with no evidence. This is why we have to wait for Hardy’s trial and not rush to judgment.

Greg Hardy's case was originally held in District court because it's a misdemeanor offense. All misdemeanor cases are heard in District Court first by a judge. If a defendant is found guilty in District Court, anyone can appeal the conviction to Superior Court where a jury trial must be held. So, Hardy or his attorney had NO CHOICE, but to have it heard by a judge first. I have personally seen several judges that ruled on things that I thought were wrong. It's much harder for 12 people to agree on guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If only one person doesn't agree it's a hung jury. Also, I believe the domestic violence protection order request (50B) was thrown out. Holder didn't even appear for that hearing. If Hardy really wanted to kill her, or she was in fear of that, don't you think she would have came to court for that? This whole case screams of BS. Now, because of the Ray Rice video everyone wants to "hang Greg Hardy" or suspend him. Why? Because one "woman" wants to tell a judge Hardy said he's going to kill me? Those injuries are consistent with someone trying to stop someone from hitting them as well. Give the man a chance in court. A real jury trial.

So, uh... what was the news?

Bunch of back and forth by a bunch of Huddlers who passed the Bar while Hardy had an excused absence.

And … Greg Hardy’s absence was “a personal day” … excused … NOT tied into anything with the league.

Here’s the deal: Hardy’s had “personal days” plenty of times before May. This timing doesn’t look good, but it’s much ado abt nothing TODAY.

Good lord people, lol.

 

 

The Huddle needs a zanex.

While most in this thread pose as legal experts, my gut is telling me that they've been on the other side of the plexiglass in their experience with lawyers.

Actually, my experience comes from putting those people behind the "plexiglass" (bullet-proof glass) and being in court many many times, lol. BTW, ANYONE can go to a local magistrate and fill out a piece of paper and the magistrate can issue an arrest warrant for assault on a female. Then, whether it's true or not, that person would have to appear in District Court before a judge and have a trial. Hopefully, the guy doesn't get a female judge with a bad attitude that day.
