[closed]why were 3 players subpeoned


Recommended Posts

Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark announced today that Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch has agreed to a deal that will resolve the investigation of his hit-and-run accident.

 

"This whole agreement is predicated on the fact that he was driving the car," Clark said. "Has he said that officially? The answer is no. But obviously, the reason we were here in these negotiations is all predicated on the fact that he was driving the vehicle."

 

Presumably, this means Lynch will plead guilty to some traffic offense related to leaving the scene of an accident, but Clark wouldn't get specific during his bizarre press conference, in which he got angry at reporters when they asked him what the agreement entailed. Clark did say there was one other person in the SUV when Lynch hit a pedestrian, but he would not say whether that passenger was a Buffalo Bills player.

You really should read through other threads before starting new threads asking questions like this, because they have been answered before.

 

In short, however, the subpoenas never meant that those players or members of the organization were with Lynch that night. Ralph, for example, was only threatened to be subpoenaed because when Clark was at OBD he SAW Ralph talking with Lynch. The DA just assumed they were talking about the case, and he figured that if he got anyone in front of a grand jury they would be compelled to say what they know, including what Lynch may have told them in confidence.

 

Hardy, for example, was going to be subpoenaed because Lynch was at Hardy's apartment 6-7 hours before the incident, with other Bills players. Since the Bills players weren't talking, Clark thought maybe he could get a list of which guys left the apartment with Lynch earlier that night. Hardy didn't even go out with them on Chippewa.

 

Johnson and Gaddis could have been seen talking to Lynch, could have been at Hardy's, or eyewitnesses could have seen them together with Lynch in a bar on Chippewa, but that doesn't mean they came or left with him.
