Also seriously... how much do we want to bet that an enterprising Dallas-area cop will have taken pictures of this...

Also seriously... how much do we want to bet that an enterprising Dallas-area cop will have taken pictures of this...
Except he left the playbook and A gold chain. And a 16.5k check.
Bit of a difference between "prison!" "sphincter clenching!" "late 1sts!" and "1 to 2 games" lolThe Rashee Rice charges are finally in so it's time for an #FFLegalUpdate with my legal - and fantasy - take on the situation. Here's where my head is right now... 1/
The first thing I want to caution everyone about is that we are getting reports about the charges but don't have the actual code sections to work off of. That could be no big deal, or it could lead to us being a little off on what he's facing. Please don't forget that. 2/
Jurisdictions usually charge under State codes, but sometimes they use city codes for some reason. I'm working off State code only assuming that's how he'll be charged. I have also NOT seen the arrest warrant nor have charges been put online yet. #FFlegalUpdate 3/
I can dial things in tighter when I have access to that stuff. Now, speaking of warrants... Don't read anything into a warrant being issued. It plays in the media and sounds more serious to say a warrant is issued and he can be arrested. But warrants are standard. 4/
Actually, it's a little odd to me that they issued a warrant when he has retained counsel already but I don't think that matters enough to get into it. Bottom line: Warrants sound scary but don't matter. They're issued in these types of cases routinely. 5/
One final note about having incomplete information like I alluded to above. There were a LOT of comments about guns being involved or about possible intoxication, or even charges for street racing. None of those came to pass. This is why we let things breathe. 6/
The charges that I have seen reported are as follows: - 1 Count Aggravated Assault - 1 Count Collision involving Serious Bodily Injury - 6 Counts Collision involving injury Charges are reportedly the same for the other driver. #FFLegalUpdate 7/
The Code sections I've run down are: - Sec. 22.02(a)(1): Aggravated Assault (Serious Bodily Injury) - Felony of the 2nd Degree - Sec. 550.021(c)(1)(B) and Sec. 550.021(c)(2) - Felony of the 3rd degree for SBI, otherwise State Felony (for the 6 counts) 8/
The main issue right out of the gate for Rice is that either of the 2nd or 3rd degree felonies carry mandatory prison time of not less than 2 years (Sec. 12.33). "This seems bad doesn't it?" It's not great, but if my concern level was a 2 before it's maybe only a 4 now. 9/
"Will he go to jail/prison?" Unlikely. The charges are serious, but keep in mind the biggest factor in any criminal case - what is your history? I don't remember Rice having any prior criminal or traffic history. That matters. A lot. 10/
"What is the next step in the case?" Rice will turn himself in and likely be processed without spending much, if any, time in jail. The case will be set for an Arraignment where he will plead Not Guilty and then the case begins. #FFLegalUpdate 11/
"Will this be done before the season?" I think so, but we don't really know that with any degree of certainty. Felony cases naturally take longer and have longer speedy trial requirements. However, based on their early strategy I expect Rice to move quick. Just MHO. 12/
"This is way worse than we expected isn't it?" Eh...sorta. The charge of Aggravated Assault is certainly not one Rice wanted to see. Nor did he want to see 8 charges. On the other hand, the multiple victims makes the multiple counts pretty standard. 13/
We also learned that, other than some marijuana, drugs and guns were not involved. Nor are they seeking anything related to intoxicated driving. "What's he going to do?" I have no idea. But he has several things going for him. As I said, he has no history I know of... 14/
...and he has approached this as though he is truly remorseful. This matters a lot to both the NFL and the Prosecutors handling the case in court. We don't know what's in the discovery packet, but it's fair to say that Rice may not have many defenses here. 15/
That doesn't mean he's guilty, it just means that he has to take a mitigation tact instead of a trial path. But again, I am speculating so be careful with this information. "How many games will he be suspended?" I still think it won't be many. 16/
I think 1-2 games seems more plausible than it did before (I was mostly on '0'), but I still think this gets plead down to a couple misdemeanors, a suspension, and a hefty restitution bill. I always say the same thing - we don't have to be perfect *right now*. 17/
We just have to be better than others. Right now I still don't see Rice as having a major issue here. Yes, it's serious. I really dislike this kind of stuff from young kids with money and fast cars, but we aren't here to moralize. I'm in the business of trying to help... 18/
...you understand what's happening and see past the hyperbole. There is a lot of "he's done!" and "prison time!" comments out there. Take out the emotion and send out some Dynasty offers. I still believe he has a long career with Patrick Mahomes in front of him. 19/

He’s still a douchebag, an idiot, and I hope Goodell throws the book at him regardless of the legal system.mild wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 5:01 pm Drew Davenport doing the lords work.

That whole take was odd to me, but these parts especially. Being charged with 2 felonies that each carry multiple years of mandatory years of jail doesn’t worry him? Does he not understand the meaning of the word mandatory? It means if found or plead guilty that the judge has no discretion about whether he goes to jail, just about the number of years assigned.The main issue right out of the gate for Rice is that either of the 2nd or 3rd degree felonies carry mandatory prison time of not less than 2 years (Sec. 12.33).

Look, maybe I am being too harsh due to personal tragedy over this type of issue. I lost my best friend, and that's something that has shaped my view on these types of incidents.

This is just out of curiosity and not to be argumentative, but what incentive do you see for the DA in the case to plead the charges down? They have the video and Rice’s confession that fully support all the charges, which pretty much precludes the need for a trial. If the DA were to sustain all charges, what defense would Rice put forth?yinzername wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 6:21 am charges are set up for an easy plea down, bet he get's 4 games max from the NFL
