ray rice is against drunk driving because a family member was killed by a drunk driver. he spoke out again hines ward and made some very public comments about the arrest. yet, when teammates asked him if he was okay with dante stallworth joining his team, he was okay with it. hmmm.
==================================

Nice try b.i.t.c.h. He killed a guy who jaywalked in front of him on a highway early in the morning. They were even saying that a sober person couldn’t have avoided the man. He also served two years house arrest, 1,000 hours of community service and will be on probation for eight additional years. He showed complete remorse for the tradgedy.

Make excuses much?? Was Stallworth drinking? Yes. Was Stallworth driving? Yes. Did Stallworth kill someone? Yes. But yet it’s ok for Rice to play with him….sounds like double-standards to me.

Or, one could say that by agreeing a $2,000 fine, probation, and 80 hours of community service, it is clear that Ward and his lawyer knew that the prosecution had ample evidence to proceed.

I’ve never heard of a $2,000 fine for an improper lane change before.

There was a rape case?

@Steeler’swill

Driving and not driving is a big difference but what’s even bigger is if he gets caught again and having 1 DUI charge against him rather than facing his 2nd DUI

“Hines has always maintained that his ability to drive was in no way impaired and we are pleased that the facts support his innocence.” But he had been drinking? And he was driving? Awesome. ‘Yes, technically the ‘facts’ constitute that under the exact ‘definition’ my client ‘may’ have been operating a motor vehicle while under the the influence of alcohol, but I don’t have to say that, I can paint any picture with whatever colors I want.’

Ok… Didn’t like the guy before, now I really don’t like the guy. Good Job Hines Ward. Real Class Act.

Ben and Hines should start a law firm after they both retire. DUI, Rape, and Motorcycle Accident experts.

Considering that it isn’t part of the story and nobody is talking about it, clearly you care very much. Jealousy will do that.

Thanks!

Plea deals in DUI cases happen all the time…to normal, everyday Joes too. So Hines did not get a favorable deal because of who he is. But of course the haters will think he did.

According to the PG:
“He was sentenced to serve 12 months probation, 80 hours of community service and a $2,000 fine. He also must undergo alcohol evaluation and participate in a risk reduction program, the newspaper reported.”

The only difference between this and the dui penalties is he’ll be able to continue driving. It’s the same bargain a public defender or a nice chat with the prosecutor will get you.

That being said, drinking and driving is for losers IMO.

I hope the prosecuter at least got a good whiff of Ward’s jock.

If the law had thrown old drunky into the calaboose
where all drunk drivers belong, ‘maybe’ he could
have gotten a job as a WR on the prison football team.

MAYBE…

jesus man now everyone that gets a DUI should be thrown in jail???

he didn’t get off lightly, 80 hours of community service and two grand, and probation certainly seems harsh for “reckless driving” in which no property was damaged or people were hurt. thats much more than first time DUI offenders get here in new ork.

yeah, he doesnt have to carry around the stigma of having a DUI or nor have his license suspension, but hes certainly paying the price.

PS – Nobody cares about your 6 rings

If he was no way impared, then why plead guilty to a lesser charge?

Also “he is thankfull to his legal team’. WHAT!??! What did you do for him?? He pleaded down!! Big deal!! A one year law student could have done that, and for free!!!

*****************************************

Umm , common practice for a 1st timer is to drop the DUI and for the offender to plea to a reduced charge. For this attorney to go public and accuse the D.A. of not having sufficient evidence on such a routine procedure is seriously misleading, incorrect, and sure to pi$$ off the prosectors office. I would not want to be a client of that attorney in ANY future case in that county.

With all that being said, the statement prepared seems like it could have been written by our favorite gal herself……..Deb.

Of course his attorney is “grateful” the d-bag should be in prison and he knows it.

Another classic example of what name recognition and money will do for you in this country’s “justice” system.
