Leonard Little issue

This statement is of course in light of the fact that it's his second offense. Obviously mistakes can be made but you have to demonstrate that you will not do it again. Getting busted a second time after such a heinous act is unbelievable.

I agree. What, this guy can't afford a car service? Nobody in his entourage can stay sober?

That kinda reminds me, does any body remember what happened to the Cowboy player who ran down 3 people last year?

First of all, Leonard Little is not yet guilty of his second DWI. Please repeat after me:

Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law...

Now, IF he is found guilty of DWI on this occasion after his previous DWI that resulted in the death of another human being, then he should be banned from the NFL permanently and sentenced to whatever the maximum penalty that the law allows in the jurisdiction where he commited this violation.

Oh, by the way, it does not matter what his blood alchohol level was. If he is convicted of DWI, there will have to be convincing evidence introduced to show that he was over the legal limit in that area.

But, please reserve some measure of "presumption of innocence" at this point.

sportscrumudgeon, it's like you're in tune with Law & Order or something. Ok, you are right, if he is found GUILTY then ban him. it's hard to give the benefit of the doubt to a guy who already killed someone but you are definitely correct.

this is sad and pathetic. not to pass blame but where r his friends and family trying to give him some reinforcement against his obvious drinking problem. he should have his license revoked for atleast 2-3 years, mandatory counciling, a severe fine, several hundred hours of community service, and possibly even some jail time especially if this violated his probation. he'll be suspended from the league w/o pay for a full season by the nfl, possibly longer, during which time he should do whatever it takes to fix his life. u would think the horrible tragedy 5 years ago would have steered him completely away from alcohol, but all i can say is thank goodness no one was hurt this time.

The guy has a problem. He needs to get some kind of rehab going. Once can be a tragic accident, bad circumstance, but a second is a crime (if he's found guilty). Nobody wins in this case.

Oh, by the way, it does not matter what his blood alchohol level was. If he is convicted of DWI, there will have to be convincing evidence introduced to show that he was over the legal limit in that area.

At least in Virginia the DUI law is ambigious and they can give you a DUI if you blow a .01 or above. How well it will stand up in court I don't know, but I know a girl that blew a .03 and they were able to give her a DUI offense. Now, she had a bad lawyer, but .03 is like 1/2 a beer.

I think that if he is guilty then there should be a severe backlash, but I'd like to know more about the case before I say exactly as to what.

I don't understand why this guy's job has anything to do with it. Just put him in jail and the job thing works itself out. Just because a guy commits a crime, he can't make a living after the sentence is fulfilled?
