OU RB Charged - Faces 1 Year in Prison

[charlie42s]

I don't believe that Mixon should be dismissed from OU. A red shirt and counseling is expected. An admission of his actions and an apology to the female would be best for his future. It's a bad situation.

the first I heard about this particular law, was either a OU running back, or OSU basketball player? Is this an Oklahoma law? Never heard of it in Texas? It could exist here, just never heard of it.

our charge was later reduced to unseemly conduct, whatever that means.

Ironically, it was a Cleveland County Deputy that arrested us and took us to the Cleveland County Jail in Norman. Small world....

Jail bird!

My guess is suspended for the year.

Bitches.

ya and had to post a $35 bond, as I remember, and eventually received a 6 month deferred sentence which meant if we stayed out of trouble for 6 months, the incident was off our records.

Looking back and knowing the whole story, it is quite hilarious.

He was clearly wrong to react the way he did. It was over the top for sure. Both parties are guilty IMO and both deserve charges. The girl too. The DA is gonna puss out though.

This is a good teaching opportunity and I don't believe Mixon should be dismissed from the team or the university. He's an 18 year old kid who made a bad decision. Red shirt him, require some counseling and put the fear of God in him that he's being watched like a hawk. Stoops probably will and should give him the opportunity to redeem himself.

The biggest thing going for him is that this is his first offense. I doubt he makes another dumb mistake like that again. If he screws up a 2nd chance then he's gone.

I agree. Put the fear of God in him, but I think it would be a mistake to dismiss him.

I've heard 3 game suspension (would be assessed AFTER a redshirt season if that's the route they go) and counseling/community service.

...and probably a LOT of SMITTYTIME (TM).

What's crap is the DA has elected not to press charges against the individual who initiated the physical contact and committed assault first. Both parties should be charged.

I'm guessing Mixon won't get any jail time, and the girl has been punished enough with her face totally wrecked.

Both of them are idiots.

No doubt about that last part.

Can you imagine DGB and Mixon playing this year while Mayfield sits?

What an abomination.

 

[Goldbug]

Or between the NCAA and David Boren, Shannon, DBG, Mixon and Mayfield all ride the pine this year.

That's bullshit.

He starts a verbal altercation by publicly making gay slurs about a girls friend. She calls him out on it and confronts. He get in her face (bad move). She pushes him (bad move). But then he lunges at her with his head and fist - to which she slaps him. She was wrong there but not as bad as I originally thought seeing as he threatened her. Still, her push and slap likely warrants a misdemeanor charge. But then to knock her out with a closed fist breaking her face in 4 places is beyond over the line.

Even the police affidavit asks for felony charges. Pure cop out by the Cleveland DA. What I've been saying all along. She should get a misdemeanor and him a felony.

Making assumptions again. Supposedly someone in his group made a gay slur. We don't know if it was him. She initiated the physical contact. She committed assault first. The fact that the DA is pussing out on pressing charges on her as well is the cop out.
