MSNBC Morning Joe: Hardy, Panthers and the War on Women

[asian88]

With the way things are now if a woman accused a man of rape, assault, etc, the man will get arrested on the spot(whether he is innocent or not). Then he has to prove his innocence. That's just our justice system right now.

Does anyone else fear all this National Witch Hunt crap could possible hurt Hardy's trial by jury? I mean, how many of the Jurors do you think will be affected by all this being shoved in their faces? How many will have the image of Rice KOing his girl in their head during the trial? I'm not as worried about what this could do to his game this Sunday as I am how this could ruin his life... All because that video was released. That blows.

No way, one thing about 'Merica is you can always find plenty of people that are tuned out on current events and news.

If his lawyers have half a brain they would contest that the current climate is not conducive to a fair trial by jury and look to have the whole thing pushed back until the media sandstorm blows over.

True.... But if the Panthers don't sit (or worse release) Hardy, how much more media attention will this get by the time he is given a FAIR trial? With the whole country being shocked by the Rice footage, it's only a matter of time before someone becomes the fall-guy. People are more mad that Rice is walking down the street with her on his arm (for now) than they are about the actual hit. This will be water-cooler talk for a month or more. Some people may not watch or keep up with the news, but you'll be sure SOMEONE will bring them up to speed. 

 

Yeah, 'Merica is suppose to have a fair judicial system... But that was put in place WAAAAYYY before media has gotten this big. Hell, I can't even fill my car up at a gas pump anymore without getting a 4 minute recap of "Today's Top Stories"....

I argee... But there is no telling when it comes to a lawyer. But then again.... How many of the Jurors could still be upset by the point of trial? This is America... Land of the Free, Home of the Grudge. The fact is, by the trial, every Juror will  have the knowledge that "this is a highly paid NFL player who 'attacked' a woman just like that other player". The Rice video will come down on Hardy whether it's this week or during his trial.

Just wait for the news to cycle through. Another big story and this is mostly forgotten.

Its also America birth place of ADHD.  It wont take long before attentions are placed elsewhere.

You are putting way to much faith in today's 'Merican. There are adults that don't even know the name of our Vice President.

Eh, this is quickly becoming a case of the media pandering to nitwits and throwing a hissy fit by publishing article after article filled with half truths and one-sided narrative until they get their way. JR shouldn't budge.

[2jakefansinva]

Does the media give us back wins when he is found not guilty in a jury trial?

 

don't hold your breath..............

 

if you watched the segment this morning the term "found Guilty" was used about 100 times in 5 mins.

 

never referring to the procedures of the NC justice system............

 

all they kept saying was that he had been found guility by a court of law and was still on the team while appealing.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Didn't the NFL say they would let the Ravens off with the cap hit of letting Rice go?

 

 

The only way we let Hardy go right now IMO, is if Goodell tells JR there will be no cap implications...we add the money owed to him next year to roll over to next year's cap. Then, things may get interesting. .00001% chance of the league allowing it though.
