Green Bay - The pre-trial hearing in the felony drug possession case of Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly today was reset again for March 25.

The delay was again requested by Jolly's attorney.

Whenever the hearing actually proceeds, a trial date may be set.

Jolly was arrested July 8, 2008 for possessing more that 200 grams of codeine.

Jolly's agent, Brian Overstreet, told the Journal Sentinel on March 2 that they intend to go to trial.

Were not after a plea agreement, were after not guilty, Overstreet said. Were still confident about that. We just feel very strongly about it and Ill leave it at that.

This is a very weak case, imo.
First of all, it's based on "four black guys in a car." Then on the "odor of codeine," which as per my experts at www.drugwar.com HAS no odor.
Then they are taking all the sizzurp in the vehicle and putting it on Jolly, since he was the "driver." But they weren't driving. There was no driver. They were parked.
I don't see this going anywhere. I'd fear the Commish more than the law.

According the probable cause affidavit in the case:
A semi-automatic weapon was found on the floor in front of one passenger, Clifton Dallas, now 22. He was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. The charges were later dismissed.
Marijuana was found on another passenger, Purvis Lee, now 23. He was arrested and later pleaded guilty to possession. Another passenger was released at the scene.
The officers found a Dr Pepper bottle in the left cup holder of the center console next to two Styrofoam cups containing soda and ice. The officers said the cups and the bottle all emitted strong odors of codeine.

He is a target. Just like Ben Roethlisberger.

Fact is there are far too many young, sexy, good looking, 200 gram bags of codeine out there who just want the opportunity to be near an NFL player. They will do what ever they can to get near a professional athlete.

I say Jolly never laid a hand on her.

Innocent.

Can't we get this thing to Wisconsin? Don't we have any of those Minnesota-style judges?

It was a dumb thing to do. I doubt that they get him, I'm going with a lack of evidence or that friend taking part of the blame, but if they do, this might be the end of Jolly (in GB).
