[hokiegrad]

had the same conversation going on in two separate threads, so I moved them together here.

Holmes mother sure isn't helping his case:

If that really is his mother then that is sad.

Could we hold off on insulting the mother of one of our players?

Just reading the comments she (assuming it is her) wrote. I understand being upset but saying she is getting the usernames of people commenting against her son and taking them to the cops and they will find their real name so she can press charges is pretty sad. Just not carrying herself in a great manner, commenting on an article online when there would clearly be more important things to be doing at a time like this. Not really insulting her, more of a smh moment.

Sorry if my comment was out of line, I didn't think I was insulting her.

Holmes not arraigned Monday morning - Virginia Tech Sports

while she certainly isnt helping the cause any, if what she is saying is true, sounds like he'll be back in the line up

Holmes not arraigned Monday morning - Virginia Tech Sports

"O’Dell said no weapons were used in the fight, “just hands and feet.”
Holmes’ attorney, Jimmy Turk, was at the court and met with six people, including Holmes’ younger brother, Weylin."

So it appears there was no stabbing.

Also disturbing is that Holmes' brother was apparently roaming the streets of Blacksburg that evening...less than 2 months after being arrested and facing four felony charges, including two counts of forcible sodomy and one count of r*pe and abduction.

This is a weird story.

I also give a lot of leeway to parents responding to their kids getting in trouble so I'm not mad at his Mom being a mamma bear. It sounds like the family is going through a lot.

I'm curious if she actually believes that she can press charges against people for making blog comments about her son. REALLLY?!?! Is she gonna file a defamation suit?

Andy Bitters chat with Jimmy Turk

http://blogs.roanoke.com/andybitter...ntinued-bond-hearing-set-for-tuesday-morning/ Armory parking lot isn't TOTS, they may of been bowling, shooting pool, or watching a movie at Squires. Sounds like this maybe reduced or thrown out to me.

Holmes’ attorney, Jimmy Turk, said the original altercation was between Holmes’ current girlfriend and former girlfriend.

"Your honor, I would like this case to be dismissed under the legal precedent established in this court years ago that indeed, 'bitches be crazy' ".

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

I know we all make mistakes, but this is a pretty bad situation. I guess we'll see what the law has in store for his future. I hope for his sake that he gets it all together regardless.

 

[HoHumHokie]

Well, if all the "witnesses" are defending Holmes and saying his actions were self defense, then I'd imagine charges will be dropped.

 

[HoHumHokie]

Worse crime?.....Cody Journell's premeditated pizza delivery hold-up with air gun to get his weed back or Holmes busting someone's chops when he's trying to defend his girlfriend.

 

[757Hokie83]

well...i mean...journell didnt send anyone to the hospital...thats gotta count for something, right? lol
