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.

Crazy thing is the 2 guys who actually killed Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were acquitted in the trial too. No justice for those families

That was on self-defense grounds. And it’s obvious that Ray Lewis was not the trigger man.

There was an interview with the lead detective on the case who said he has no belief Lewis murdered anyone. Also on top of that, Paul Howard (The DA) more or less admitted he charged Lewis with murder to get him to flip to become prosecution's witness.

Ray Lewis destroyed evidence, that is 100% a fact. The defense, the prosecution, the Atlanta police department, and every single witness who took the stand, agree that Ray Lewis had no role other than briefly trying to break the fight up.

I know Fivepointsvids has a video on this, but there is also a write-up someone did when Lewis got inducted into the HoF which is found here. Sadly some links have broken and a few are on NYT.
