Purple drank?

Terrible, terrible. Whichever way we look at it.

And it was only during the game chat room that many were admiring Will Smith for his play and his misses for her looks.

wow...
 

smh...i would love to hear both sings of the equation. this is one of those times where i wish i was an attorney.

Yes there is.

When did I make a "statement that a woman can make a man hit her"??

I asked if anyone knew what happened to make him go bizzerk. She may have done nothing but Will Smith isn't known for just beating his wife up, unless I'm wrong.

Ok, some of you know what I do so I'll chime in on this one....

First: The police witnessed the two arguing. Then they saw it "escalate" and they saw him grab her by the hair and drag her.

Now, I don't know Louisiana state law, but I know Idaho law and most states have similar domestic abuse laws. In some states, police don't have to witness a battery (especially domestic battery) actually occur to make and arrest. They just have to have enough evidence to show cause for an arrest. As someone suggested earlier, police cannot arrest someone on a charge of domestic battery (or any other charge) if they don't have the evidence to show that a crime occurred and the suspect is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. I find it hard to believe that there is any state or local agency that would advocate the arrest of an individual after a "non-violent family fight" or "arguement". That is against the U.S. Constitution. What they can do is have one party leave or "suggest" that one party leave to let things cool down.

In Idaho (again not sure about Louisiana), the victim of domestic abuse does not have to press charges on the suspect. If the police have enough evidence to show that the suspect did indeed commit the crime, they can arrest and the state charges the suspect. This is because of the "battered wife syndrome" as some call it, in which the victim is too afraid of retalitation to actually press charges.

Bottom line is this: From what I read on NFL.com, the police witnessed the battery occur. Which probably means they arrested Will for a crime that they witnessed occur. This means, the charges may or may not have been pressed by Will's wife and it also means that he will not get a plea bargain or deal. The fact the officers witnessed it makes it that much stronger of a case.

Ditto 504. I just don't see the logic around getting physical with a girl and in Halo's defense I think he meant he just wanted to know what she did or said to make him that angry? Maybe it was the Dixie

I'm not trying to get into a big hoopla with anyone...just wanted to let everyone know what I gathered from the report on NFL.com and what the legal situation might be.

I wasnt talking about Halo in particular, his statement reminded me of hearing people say that.
