And if it was you and you were completely innocent would it be a great move?
All I'm saying is wait until the man in convicted then do the Jersey swap. It's the least they could do considering the whole organization were criminals for years.

Yeah he's innocent until proven guilty. But that only applies in the court room. OJ was found not guilty but does anybody really think he was innocent?

We're not on a jury so we can look at the facts that have been presented and come to our own conclusion. The same goes for the people who knew him on a day to day basis, his employers and team mates. The Patriots management know him well enough to know that they don't want to be associated with this guy. They have the right to make that decision.

I'm just sick of the media and the general feeble mindedness of people. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what any of us think unless we are on that jury. What the Pats did is say the man is guilty. Let's say by some longshot he's proven innocent. Then what? Are they going to re-swap out the jersey. Will they re-sign him? How much are they going to have to dish out in a lawsuit, and us, taxpayer money trying to get get closure on it. Just wait until the man is convicted.

On April 11, 2007, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper dropped all charges and declared the three players innocent. Cooper stated that the charged players – Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty, and David Evans – were victims of a "tragic rush to accuse."[9] The initial prosecutor for the case, Durham County's District Attorney Mike Nifong, who was labeled a "rogue prosecutor" by Cooper, withdrew from the case in January 2007 after the North Carolina State Bar filed ethics charges against him. That June, Nifong was disbarred for "dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation", making Nifong the first prosecutor in North Carolina history to lose his law license based on actions in a case. Nifong was found guilty of criminal contempt and served one day in jail.[10] Mangum never faced any charges for her false accusations as Cooper declined to prosecute her

Richard Jewell: never being officially charged, he underwent a "trial by media" with great toll on his personal and professional life. Eventually he was completely exonerated and Eric Robert Rudolph was later found to have been the bomber. In 2006, Governor Sonny Perdue publicly thanked Jewell on behalf of the state of Georgia for saving the lives of those at the Olympics.

I know what your saying. I know Aaron. Nobody here more then me wants to believe in his innocence. This hurts. It hurts a lot. I have a bad feeling about this. Man he always had a big smile on his face. He was always excited to see you. I feel for his mom, brother and his sister. I want to remember him as the kid i new not this Aaron.
