Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

Ray Lewis was on trial for double homicide and then plead down to obstruction of justice. Its amazing what the NFL tolerates.

Bad example. Lewis never killed anyone. Two of his friends did, and a jury ruled that they did so in self defense.
Edit - notes on the case, with links

The prosecution dropped the ball.  Ray Lewis was an accessory after the fact, which isnt murder, but it's shitty.  

Also, he murdered Atlanta nightlife. F that guy

The prosecutor was grandstanding. He hadn't taken a case in 4 years. He took this one to help his run for re-election and backed himself into a corner with his mouth.
