The prosecution can write a minute-by-minute timeline of what happened that night. Dude is going away for a long time.

yeah, well, he's a football player...
no, seriously, it's another example of the skewed priorities in schools, where athletes get treated like demigods. i saw that 27 players have been arrested since the super bowl. this is the most serious so far, but this isn't the only player up on some sort of murder charge. dallas has their guy who was drunk driving and killed his teammate.
the nfl needs to really start doing a better job at finding out which players need to be drafted. talent alone isn't enough. was his couple of years on the pats worth all this now? huge, huge issue, when one considers the amount of arrests. goodell is supposedly strict, so why 27 arrests just in a few months time?
the hard hits, the suits aren't what will bring the nfl popularity down. it's the growing problem of thugs in the nfl.
