but you can see the difficulties in just getting a plea deal, right ?

Yes, I can.  However,  if the officers are offered a million dollars or more  to make it go away,  they may be willing to negotiate.

If he apologizes and promises not to do it again, they'll probably forget the whole thing ever happened and all go out for ice cream together.

LOL -  if anything,  there will be a monetary settlement.  I think this is why it is taking so long to make the arrest.

Please understand,  I am not defending Shady.  He deserves what he gets.  I am strictly looking at how the system sometimes works.

I am not a good one to ask.  If it was my decision, Incognito wouldn't be with us.  And,  if we look at the end result,  I think it is clear I would have made a mistake.

When I first joined about a year ago,  you were one who came to my defense when one or two were giving me a hard time.  Never forgot that.

Hitching your wagon to PatsFanTX is not a good idea. 

I have no ill will feelings towards either of you,I just don't get your infatuation on another teams message board. 

P.S Get a room.

The /bills should be lauded and praised for the 4 superbowls not downgraded.  It's tough to make the playoffs in this league, it is really tough  to get to a super bowl, it is tougher to win one, it is amazingly tough to go to one back to back.  Their 4 appearances in a row, though bitter because they never got over the top should be praised not slighted.

I joined last year after Rex was hired here in Buffalo.  I wanted to see what posters had to say.  As time went on,  I really enjoyed chatting with a lot of the posters so I decided to stay.  I generally just chime in when something is posted about the Bills.

Rex said "hit you in the mouth". Shady got a bit carried away and decided "stamping on your head" was the same thing ... :blink:

Still no charges against LeSean Mc Coy.  Here's the latest update here in Buffalo

Report: DA's office "pushing back" on McCoy case

(WKBW) - The investigation regarding Buffalo Bills star running back LeSean McCoy was sent to the Philadelphia District Attorney's office last week, and as of Thursday morning, the office told 7 ABC that, as of 11 am on Thursday, they "don't expect anything today or tomorrow [Friday]." It was also added that things are subject to change, but the anticipation -- at least for now -- is that nothing will be announced, and no press conferences are scheduled.

The "anything" the quote refers to is fairly simple: charges, arrest warrants, and/or overall findings from the investigation. And now, according to the newest report, the District Attorney's office is showing some hesitation in the case.


According to John Gonzalez of CSN Philadelphia, the D.A.'s office is "pushing back" on immediately issuing an arrest warrant for McCoy, and there has been some "tension" between them and the Philadelphia Police Department because they have failed to issue an arrest warrant for McCoy. The report indicates the D.A.'s office has "questions about the conduct of the officers that evening, including that the officers did not call 9-1-1 during the incident and whether they were drinking to excess."

It would help answer the two questions being asked more than any by curious fans and casual observers of the case, but it was explained more in depth to 7 ABC.

First, why is it taking so long?

Believe it or not, according to the District Attorney's office, it's fairly standard for these types of investigations. Speaking in broad terms -- not specifically about the McCoy case -- the office said it takes time due to a multitude of factors: medical records, eyewitness accounts, receipts, tracking down who was in the vicinity when the incident occurred, and, everyone they need to talk with not being in one place at one time.

"There isn't a super computer," the DA's office said, when it comes to getting all the information the investigation requires before they start issuing charges and arrest warrants.

The second question is this: Because of who is involved in this case, and how high profile he is, does that add to the length of time it takes to conclude their investigation?

"I think we want to be careful when there's a celebrity involved," the Philadelphia District Attorney's office told 7 ABC. The DA's office also added, "but our guys downstairs take their jobs very seriously [with all their cases]."

 

If you missed any of the details in the situation, here is the full recap of all the twists and turns over the past week-and-a-half:

WPVI, an ABC affiliate in Philadelphia, reports that McCoy is expected to be charged in the case. The report also states that arrest warrants are expected from the District Attorney's office, and that police recommended to the DA that criminal charges, including aggravated assault, be assessed in the case, although it is unclear at this point in time to what level McCoy would be charged.

The report also indicates that the two off-duty police officers will not face any charges from the incident.

Jim Kenney, the mayor of Philadelphia, did not mince words on McCoy:

"If LeSean did what he did -- I mean I admired him as a player here in Philly -- but if he wants to pound our officers and stomp our officers, then he needs to pay the price and answer for his actions. You should be able to go out and Philadelphia and enjoy yourself and not get stomped."

McCoy's former defense attorney, Jack McMahon, told ESPN that if there was an arrest warrant put out for the running back, that he would turn himself in immediately. McMahon has since withdrawn from the case, and McCoy will now be represented by Philadelphia attorney Larry Krasner, according to multiple reports.

McCoy, the situation involving him, three other football players, and two off-duty police officers that ended up hospitalized has taken the next step -- and it doesn't appear to be a good one for McCoy.

Multiple national reports detail that an arrest warrant is expected for the McCoy case, and it's described by ESPN as "imminent." One of the two officers suffered an orbital fracture as a result of the alleged assault involving McCoy.

Although no surveillance video was available, a cell phone video of the alleged event has surfaced on TMZ. 

7 ABC has learned that the case has been sent over to the District Attorney's office in Philadelphia for review. It's still an open investigation, but the District Attorney's office has it now and will assess what charges should be filed in the case.

On McCoy's side, ESPN reported that he has hired Philadelphia defense attorney Jack McMahon to represent him.

According to WPVI, an ABC-affiliate in Philadelphia, two off-duty police officers were assaulted by McCoy during an altercation around 2:30 am Sunday in Philadelphia. Both officers were hospitalized after the alleged assault, and now McCoy has been calling around for a defense attorney, according to the same report..

McCoy and a friend were both a part of the altercation, although the Bills running back has not been arrested at this point in time. McCoy is, however, the focus of the investigation, according to the report, and a police report was filed at the time of the incident.

Police are said to be seeking arrest warrants, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The names of the four men in the alleged attack have been identified as McCoy, Curtis Brinkley, Tamarcus Porter, and Christopher Henderson, according to the Inquirer. The nightclub in question had video surveillance, but it was not working.

According to FOX 29 in Philadelphia, the investigation is centering around four NFL players -- including McCoy -- at the nightclub in the city. The report indicates that the fight initially started over champagne being delivered to the off-duty officers before the players. The cops were reportedly "punched," "kicked," and "stomped," and suffered injuries including a partially fractured skull, broken ribs, and a broken nose.

There is video tape from the evening, but none initially of the altercation, just of those involved being removed from the restaurant.

CSN Philadelphia reported that three off-duty police officers were involved, and former NFL running back Curtis Brinkley grabbed the bottle of champagne. The time of the altercation, according to the report, was approximately 2:45 am on Sunday.

The Bills issued a statement shortly before noon:

"We are aware of the reports regarding LeSean McCoy and in the process of gathering more information. We will not provide any further comment at this time."

Here is the report from the Philadelphia Police Department in full, which does not mention McCoy by name:

On Sunday, February 7, 2016, at approximately 2:45am, the Complainants were inside a Nightclub located at 1XX S. 2nd Street. An argument ensued as to the ownership of a bottle of Champaign, which led to pushing and shoving. At this point all below Suspects, engaged in a physical altercation with Complainant#1 who was then punched and knocked to the ground. While on the ground he was punched, kicked and stomped about his body and head multiple times by all four Suspects.  Complainant#2 and security guards intervened and broke up the attack and all parties were ejected from the club. Complainant#1 transported himself to the Hospital where he was treated for a laceration to his right eye, broken nose, broken ribs, and a sprained thumb. Complainant#2, was admitted to the Hospital where he received eight stitches over his left eye and is currently receiving treatment for a possible skull fracture.  The four suspects were subsequently identified through photographs by the complainants and by the security guards. Video surveillance was recovered from the outside of the club which shows both parties being ejected from the club; however, the incident itself wasn't captured on video.
The investigation is active and ongoing; all updates will be sent upon availability.
Complainant #1:  40yrs old B/M off Duty Philadelphia Police Officer
Complainant #2:  40yrs old B/M, off duty Philadelphia Police Officer.

Suspect #1:  27yrs old B/M
Suspect #2:  30yrs old B/M
Suspect #3:  27yrs old B/M      
Suspect #4:  26yrs old B/M

The complainants in this incident were off duty Philadelphia Police Officers and the Suspect are reported to be members of the National Football League.
