Athletes and The Law
So OJ Simpson didn't kill anyone? He was 100 percent innocent. Kobe Bryant never raped a girl? She just wanted the attention. Lance Briggs got scared and crashed his car. I don't think so. Its pretty unbelievable how athletes get away with so many things these days. According to www.law.umkc.edu the evidence against OJ was huge. There was no way he could get away with what he did. But as everyone knows he got off like nothing happened and know wrote a book that's a joke. Does anyone find it funny that if it was anyone else in society they would have been found guilty but no not an NFL player. Now I will give the court system some credit after this whole Michael Vick thing. First of all it is gross what he did. He might not even have touched a dog but to put the money forward to have this dog fighting is awful. The courts should be happy because finally after years and years of trying to get athletes they got one. The evidence is so big. According to SI.com Vick was quoted saying that the laws didn't apply to him because he was that good. Look who's laughing now Michael. 7 witnesses testified against you. So we all know that once in a while players get DUI'S or get in trouble with drugs. But When you here about charges getting dropped like OJ, Lance Briggs, Ray Lewis and many others you have to think how? Just because they get paid millions and everyone knows them they should get off even though there is evidence saying they did it? Well at least there won't be anymore dog fighting with the highest paid player in the NFL.

I can see what you mean with OJ and Lance Briggs, although I do think the Kobe case was justified. I think she saw an oppurtunity to try and get some money out of the situation so she jumped at it. But you are pretty much right on everything else. They get away with way too much, mainly because they have connections and have the highest paid lawyers in the world. Another case you could throw into this tpic is the Duke laccross scandel. Those players got off scott-free, although, to their credit, the evidence was overwhelmingly in their favor. But this has been a continuing problem in the Sport world today. But the Law and Court Systems are making great strides with the Michael Vick and I hope they can keep it up.
