Slowlando can still get out of this….the jury will be told that his “friend” just cut a deal, so his testimony will be looked upon skeptically. Especially if he told the police a different story at the begining, it will impeach his credibility as a witness.

The “victim” has a financial incentive to blame Slowlando, so his testimony is shaky too….and I am willing to bet the “victim” might have some prior history that might impeach his credibility
too.

Slowlando still has decent chance, just from what is being reported.

Now, the state might have other witnesses from that night too that have not been reported on…..then he might be sunk.

I am still shocked that firing a gun near someone’s head is just a misdemeanor lol….in most places that is aggravated assault. It would be an attempt by physical menace with a deadly weapon to put another in fear of imminent serious bodily harm.

Until we get a suitable replacement i am not cutting anybody including McCheese. Hopefully one of the guys we have emerge as a viable replacement…

Looks like McClains co-defendant actually got 90 days for the assault charge, but I think even the plaintiff stated originally that McClain didn’t hit him, he just threatened him and held the gun to his head. I guess we will find out in a few hours.

McClain’s charges in the Al I think don’t even carry jail time…. He will be back in the NFL by october. As much as we dislike his character, he is still an NFL calibur player, and plenty of teams could find a spot for him, IF we even cut him

==============================================

If there were no jail time involved, why did his co-defendant (who was charged with less serious crimes) just plead out to 90 days in jail?

Just like it felt like a brand new day and relief when we cut JaSizzurp, it will be a day to celebrate and breathe a deep breath of satisfaction when we cut RoMac.

I doubt if he gets more than 4 games, and he may get as few as only 1 or 2 games.

@Bcz

I think you’re right. Worst case scenario would be a 5 game suspension, reduced to 3 games after an appeal with the NFLPA

Romac’s pending charges aren’t very severe in the state of Alabama. I doubt if he gets more than 4 games, and he may get as few as only 1 or 2 games. The Raiders can tack their 4 games on to whatever Goodell levies though.

+++++++++++

So based on bama law, how much time can he get?
How much is it going to cost him in lawyer fees etc to get off?
