Correct. A settlement would mean nothing in a criminal case. However, paying off the star witness of the prosecution to take a vacation and not be available to her lawyers or to the court means that they have no recourse but to rule against her in the proceedings. Hardy being able to buy himself a not guilty verdict means a hell of a lot more to his career than however much it cost him to have her disappear. Because if you'll remember, this "flake" made every single one of her other court dates before mysteriously dropping off the face of the earth. Not just chilling at home, either. She's making it damn sure that she isn't going to be found for this.

She will be found and soon! It's as obvious as Greg winning the appeal

49ers CEO Jed York on Ray McDonald

 

“
My character is, I will not punish somebody until we see evidence that it should be done or before an entire organization, an entire legal, police investigation, shows us something.
”
 

We could've done this and had the guy we payed 17 million on the field.

 

 

 

How could the Panthers have "done this"?

 

The N F of L suspended Hardy, not the Panthers.  McDonald was never suspended by the NFL.  (Oh, by the way, in case you didn't notice, later in the season when McDonald was under investigation for sexual assault, the 49ers CUT HIM FROM THE TEAM... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/49ers/2014/12/17/ray-mcdonald-cut-san-francisco-49ers-sexual-assault/20549165/ ).

 

Do you think if the Panthers had "refused" to honor the suspension the NFL would have reacted like "Well, OK... nevermind then!"

 

No, they wouldn't have.  If the Panthers had suited up Hardy and sent him on the field, the officials wouldn't have allowed play because an ineligible player would have been on the field.

 

And if the Panthers PERSISTED, they would have likely been fined and forfeited draft picks.

 

And this is what you consider a good idea?

Worst part, his agent helped negotiate his way onto the exempt list

What kind of example would it set for the other players if we allowed Hardy to play through all of that. Okay, I get it, innocent until proven guilty (and then guilty until the accuser doesn't show up for court).

 

What this does show is that Carolina will not stand for behavior like this, guilty or not. No multiple chances. Keep yourself OUT of bad situations, and this isn't even a discussion. Plain & Simple. I would rather it be handled the way it was over how the Browns handle their similar situations.

Exactly.

 

Hardy's year-long PAID suspension was a deal between Hardy and his agent and the League.  A deal to which he and his agent AGREED.

 

Yet within the craniums of the brainless, somehow this was the Panther's fault.

You are never, ever found innocent. You are innocent. You have to be proven guilty.

You've obviously never been to court over anything. Anything as small as a seatbelt ticket. I've seen a few cases in court where there should absolutely not have been a conviction. It's all cops and DA's being friends. Guilty until proven innocent, even if you're a hardworking, honest person.

And are you starting to see how Hardy and Drew laughed at the Franchise tag all the way to the bank?

Unless you sucker punch your teammates because that's OK.
