Joe Mixon video might be made public

[TrustMeIamRight]

Funny because earlier in this thread you were pulling this bullshit:

I'm not arguing with a guy who works criminal cases about the law and sentences handed out.
Civil lawsuits can be won even if you are found not guilty of charges by a jury. (OJ Simpson is a great example)
He is on video knocking a girl out and breaking bones in 4 parts of her face. He took a plea deal instead of a trial. If she files a civil suit. What will his defense be? IMO, it isn't really an if, it is when she files the civil suit and how much she will get.

No doubt, but a lot of factors will go into that last part and he's better keeping his mouth shut till its done.

Your sentiment is shared amongst most of your fanbase. Boys will be boys just keep them on the field right? Somewhere Art Briles is reading this and smiling.

This is complete bullshit. Very aggie of you. But hey, keep making up bullshit like the judge took a bribe to keep the Mixon tape sealed and lessen his punishment.

I agree with the keeping his mouth shut. He'd have been better off saying no comment. Saying he had no regrets from that night will be used against in the civil suit as having no remorse for his actions. It could really blow up in his face

His defense is that she hit him first and thus is as liable for the situation as he is since she started it. That whole criminal != civil works both ways. But most likely they would settle out of court.

Still, you are trying to claim that his lawyers don't know what they are doing. And your "guy who works criminal cases" got his ass handed to him.

I'm going out on a limb and saying the LAST thing his lawyers told him to say is, he has no regrets about the incident. No comment, I could fully understand, as a response. It doesn't take a lawyer to figure that out -- common sense is all u need.

Seeing as the DA watched the video and the girl wasn't charged, that defense isn't going to work very well. Especially when he took a plea -- if he wanted to go the self defense route, the criminal trial was the time to do that.

He did. He took the plea deal because the DA offered a plea deal with a deferred sentence to avoid charging the girl. His attorney stated at one time they would file charges against her. The result was them meeting in the middle. That's why I have a problem with people bitching about Mixon's lighter punishment while ignoring her entire lack of legal punishment.

Please post a link where it says he took a plea so the girl wouldn't be charged. If that is the case. There would be no civil case.
I find that really hard to believe though.

Like I said, you really don't get how the legal system works, do you?

It is simple. Post the link where it states he took a plea so the girl wouldn't be charged. If that happened, it would have been all over the news
And also, there'd be no civil case.

No it wouldn't have. Guaranteed behind closed doors there was a discussion between the DA and mixon's attorney that involved him being offered the deferred sentence if he agreed not to turn the whole thing into a shit storm. By the definition of the law that girl deserved to be charged. Especially considering her record, but the DA knew he had a potential cluster fuck on his hands. Mixon's attorney knew this, and used it to help his client because he knew the DA wasn't too keen on charging the girl whether she deserved it or not. If you really think that would've been made public, I'm sorry, but you're more ignorant than I realized.

Newsflash. By accepting the plea, he is screwed in a civil case. And IF the DA wanted to press charges against the girl, there'd be no cluster fuck, as you have said repeatedly, he acted in self defense and she struck him. It'd be quite easy to prove -- release the video and everyone sees she initiated it all.
All you are doing now is taking wild stabs in the dark on what the DA was thinking and how he viewed the video.

Like I said. You really don't get how this works. There damn well would've been a cluster fuck. Whether you can see it or not, I really don't care. You've already proven countless times you have no idea how the legal system works. I'm done arguing with you. Bye.

Are you done arguing or are you done making excuses for Mixon?

You're joking right? I've said my piece, I've made myself clear. You can try to twist shit any way you want. I'm done talking to you about this because you're obviously incapable of intelligent conversation. I've stated repeatedly I do not condone what he did. I have said from the start my issue with the lynch mob has always been their lack of outrage over the girl avoiding legal punishment. I've never made any excuses for him. I could not have made myself more clear. You're clearly more interested in passive aggressive shit like this than actually having an adult conversation about this. So, I'm done with you. Fuck off.

You are right, you have said you don't condone won't he did. But then you say the girl should have been charged (without ever seeing the video), she was calling him the n word (even though she says it never happened) and how he didn't use a gay slur and she confronted him without being certain it was him. Basically you are taking his version as the truth, while coming up with reasons why it happened and why he took a plea, disregarding what the girl punched said.
That is why I asked you how you felt about the FSU player. It is basically the exact same story, sans the gay slur, but with trying to jump the beer line. Both accused the girls of calling them the n word turning into a racial situation.
I believe Mixon said the girl spit on him (she could be charged for that alone), called him the n word, and punched him. If ALL of that happened -- there is no chance she isn't charged. That is just my opinion.
I don't have an issue with OU's handling of it, as others would do the same. I think the stories of both athletes are curbed to make their actions defensible.

Why would a DA be in any trouble for charging a domestic assault which occurred on tape? That doesn't make any sense.
