NFL files lawsuit against Mecklenburg County for Hardy evidence

The National Football League (NFL) is suing the North Carolina Attorney General and the Mecklenburg County District Attorney over the Greg Hardy domestic violence case. 

 

After the charges were dismissed, the NFL filed a motion to have the evidence in the first trial unsealed so that it could make a decision on Hardy's future with the league.

But the exhibits had been returned to the district attorney's office and Hardy's attorney, Chris Fialko, on Feb. 11, two days after the charges were dismissed against Hardy.

That's when the league claims an Assistant District Attorney received the state's exhibits.

Fialko filed his own motion Feb. 16, asking the court to deny the NFL's request. That same day, Superior Court Judge Robert Bell signed an order doing just that.

The NFL argues that evidence filed in the first trial are considered public record.

The lawsuit says Hardy is the subject of disciplinary action by the league. Attorneys say they demanded access to the evidence again on March 11.

"Mr. Murray has refused Plaintiff access to the requested exhibits and refused to mediate the dispute," the lawsuit claims. "All legal proceedings against Mr. Hardy have concluded, therefore, the exhibits admitted in evidence and held by the District Attorney are no longer trial preparation materials."

The lawsuit claims Murray's refusal to grant access to the evidence in the case violates "fundamental openness and transparency in government as codified in the Public Records Act."

The league is requesting an immediate hearing by an appeals court and demanding Murray provide any evidence that the state has in its possession.

What I gather from this is that they are hellbent on suspending Greg Hardy, but can't justify a suspension without evidence. IMO the NFL should stop this witch hunt and get over it.

NFL is the only one perpetuating this story anymore. Just drop a 2 game suspension on him and move on.

I think they want more than two.

A two game suspension invokes the memory of Ray Rice, and they'd really like to avoid reminding people of that particular PR disaster.

I expect they'll try to go for three or four games. Not a huge difference, but gives them the ability to say "see, we're tougher now".

So what your saying is that they want to make a sacrificial lamb out of the Kraken to appease the media and Gloria Allred's of the world. Shame on you NFL!

      Corbett might not be gone

      If we are going to spend the money anyway, maybe the signing is not as bad as it seems.  Mays outperformed Corbett (before his injury and if you go back to last year, Corbett has been below average) and then Christensen took the job and Mays quickly took it from him and never looked back.  He could use improvement reaching to the next level (LBs) but picking up stunts and blitzes---he was surprisingly good.  Run blocking needs some work, but he is 25.  Corbett, in my view, should be G/C depth and if Mays steps back, he is there.  Mays should start because this team is building for the future and 30 year old players are not building blocks.  We shall see.  That is how I think about it, but there are many factors we do not know. Having said that, I like what Zavala is doing, and I do not want to bring in someone who would take opportunities away from him.  Zavala was really good at RG down the stretch, and in limited duty, was awesome. In fact, we have a guard from the PS who played briefly and did well, but he only played a few plays.  He is 25 and I recall that fans of his former team were upset when we signed him.   Maybe as the backup center only (Corbett).  You need 2 centers to run practices efficiently.  I cannot say enough about the OL coaches on this staff.  What they have done is overshadowed by the Lewis / Hunt signing.  Mays, Ekwonu, Zavala--impressive growth.
