5 Common Misconceptions About Ray Lewis’ Murder Trial

[NYCkid12]

You guys clearly don't understand the legal system.

Not guilty is no where close to being innocent. Ray was guilty of something, that's why he reached a plea witht the DA. You don't reach a plea if you're innocent. He also plead guilty to obstruction as a term of his plea. Again you don't just plead guilty if you're not hiding something.

It's fine to be a Ray Lewis fan but at least don't be blind about this.

right on the money!

it also doesn't mean you are guilty, which everyone seems to be jumping to. the other 2 no names got off for self defense, seems pretty obvious lewis was innocent of MURDER. not completley without fault, but not a murderer. you don't understand the legal system. the 12 people responible for looking at all the evidence and seeing everyhting deemed it was not a murder but self defense. why should we less informed people say differently?


im not blind about it. im not syaing it because im a fan. im saying it because there is no proff he was quilty of anything more serious than obstrution of justice.

This is untrue...look at the Kobe Bryant case..no one says he's a racist because clear evidence came out showing he wasn't involved

People have doubts because of things I mentioned before.....destroying evidence, conspiring with his friends, and flipping his story midway through...these are things that cause people to have doubts

its 100% true. lewis was acquitted, yet everyone refers to him as a murderer.

**** your destroying evidence for the last god damn time. they charged him with obstruction of justice and he was convicted. that doesnt make him murderer. your doubts are unsubstansiated since there is not a single shred of proff showing he is a murderer, just that hew as present when the self defense happened

Could we all just agree that what happened in Atlanta smells fishy?

The love for this fake Bible verse quoting fool is retarded.

He also settled out of court on a civil case against him for the murders.

So did OJ...

He was not acquitted. He was never tried because he reached a plea agreement.

Yup. And with that, I am done with this subject. Good day everyone.

Only Lewis pleaded guilty in relation to the case: for obstruction of justice, a misdemeanor. He originally was charged with two counts of murder but struck a deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against two of his companions that night, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting.

Lewis never directly linked his two friends to the killings, and they were acquitted. Lewis had testified that Oakley, Sweeting and another man had gone to a sporting goods store the previous day to buy knives. Baker's blood later was found in Lewis' limo. Having fled the crime scene, Lewis told the limo's passengers to "keep their mouths shut." The white suit Lewis was wearing that night — on Super Bowl Sunday — never was found.

This story stinks so bad.

[DESERTDWELLER]

a person who "corruptly or by threats of force, or by threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice" is guilty of the crime of obstruction of justice.
