Long Island Phil Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bills' Marshawn Lynch has admitted he was behind the wheel of his SUV when he hit a woman and left the scene a month ago. Lynch apologized to the victim Friday before heading into the Department of Motor Vehicles office to plead guilty to a traffic infraction -- failure to exercise due care. The plea was part of a deal reached by Lynch's lawyer and the Erie County District Attorney's office last week that will allow the running back to avoid a criminal charge. The deal was announced shortly before a grand jury was to begin hearing testimony from Bills players and executives to determine whether Lynch was driving the Porsche Cayenne in the city's bar district early on May 31.

elegantelliotoffen Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 He's guilty of failing to avoid hitting the victim with his car, which is the charge to which he's agreeing. What he's not agreeing to is being drunk or knowing he hit her, and there is no evidence to suggest either of those are true. You keep saying there is no evidence but that is not true. While we don't have a blood test or a videotape of him drinking there is plenty of circumstantial evidence that he was drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that if there were evidence, the DA would have accepted a plea deal for a traffic violation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_of_manhattan Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 http://www.buffalonews.com/cityregion/story/377851.html I am seen someone get a clean hit with an suv (last year while on a business trip in Chicago) and believe me, you know when you hit someone and also know that this was not a clean hit, because you do not walk away from a clean hit with one of these vehicles. The man made a mistake - no one was seriously injured or killed, let's move on. There are many lessons for him to learn from this. Young drivers, especially men, are ALWAYS doing something stupid behind the wheel - that's why you have to practically take a second mortgage on a house to pay auto insurance when your teenage son begins to drive. Let's all be glad it wasn't more serious. NY state is notorious for not punishing these types of crimes too harshly. If he develops a pattern, then we have a problem here. Given the circumstances, I don't think jail is necessary (jail, leading to an incarceration record can a have VERY counterproductive effect sometimes). This had to be a rather traumatic experience for him as well - I understand that he has not been 'in trouble' before. Give the guy a break. For those of you who fret about the wealthy and famous getting better legal deals - welcome to America, where it DOES matter who you are and where you come from - let's play ball.
