As expected... Jolly to be tried for his crime.

Must have got everyone trained on their sizzurp-tester. I was hoping they were just trying to save face with that reason for dropping the charges, but am certainly not surprised that they were being truthful.

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).

There is a possibility for some fancy legal wrangling...Even in Texas.

Rock- You are probably unfamiliar with the differences between states, but as the comedian Ron White put it--- "While those pinkos in places like Massachusetts are outlawing the death penalty, here in Texas we're putting in an express lane."

I don't remember Jolly or his attorney asking for a continuance...I could be wrong, as I know it DID get delayed, but I thought it was Texas doing the delaying...

My point?

IF Jolly never waived his right (by asking for a continuance) the statutes (as shitty as they are in Texas--see death penalty reference) protecting a defendant against an unreasonable delay might (possibly)get him off, or give him a good avenue to string it out to keep playing through legal wrangling. Legal wrangling to US Supreme court could take YEARS--irony in that, lol We have this pesky thing called the Constitution (Not applicable in Minnesota...home cookin' trumps... FAIL)....

The 6th amendment gives everyone a right to a speedy trial. The law in Texas defines speedy as 6 months in the case of a felony.

In Mass-- They probably would tell the prosecution tough-titty on not being up to speed on your new machine, case dismissed

In Texas--- Sure, Mr prosecutor, would you like the court to help train your people? lol

funny, but not far off--philosophies-wise

Rock - Dave is right. There's so much variance from state to state. Like Nevada, prostitution is legal in several counties yet the punishments for marijuana possession are on the extreme side. Texas has pretty liberal gun laws (meaning relaxed, not liberal as in Democrat) but they're harsh on drugs. California is lax on drugs but harsh on guns. Oregon does everything they can to get jobs to that state yet they still can't.

Jolly picked the wrong state to commit drug crimes. Had he done it in California, they would have slapped him on the wrist, gave him a fine, and warned not to do it again.

My WAG is that on the day the prosecution dropped the charges, they hit Jolly and his attorney with a stack of papers, saying, "Sign here, here, and here, and you will be free to go, yada yada yada"

His attorney and him were probably so friggin' relieved at that semi-unbelievably lucky sequence of events on trial/pay the piper/maybe go behind the door with no knob day that they would have signed any ol' thing, including a "waiver of right to speedy trial" piece of paper in stack 27d of the papers they signed on that day. Like I said, a guess. :thumbright:

But this also gives us the chance of getting Jolly on the cheap.

However if he becomes a RFA he'll be ours for another season anyway as long as we give him the 1st and 3rd round tender.

From what I read first time round I really don't see Jolly getting anything more than probabtion if he is (eventually) found guilty.

For what it is worth, here is my legal advice.

Delay the trial until Feb. Demand a trail by jury.

The Packers then trade him to the Cowboys before the trail for a 7th round draft pick, with secret handshake agreement that the Cowboys trade him back after the trial for the same 7th round pick.

The Packers would agree in future considerations to do the same for any Cowboy who is charged in Wisconsin.
