Albert Haynesworth Pleads No Contest - Probation and Community Service

The former Titan, who now plays for the Washington Redskins, will serve three months probation, perform 25 hours of community service, make a $5,000 contribution to an organization that offers counseling to emergency responders and attend an eight-hour defensive driving school.

Haynesworth still faces civil charges in a lawsuit seeking $7.5 million in damages.

Suspension?

Wonder if the comish will had anything out.

I'm worried about the beer supply. After this case, and the other case, there's only one case left- Barney Gumble

I doubt it...

It was only speeding (tho he was on probation).

There would be no NFL if they suspended players for speeding. haha.

It was Reckless Driving...

Which I believe is midemeanor and not just a moving offense, like speeding. On another site someone said something along the lines of “The commish has to take action b/c he plead guilty to a misdemeanor”…

1) Is that true?

2) Does the fact that he actually plead “no contest” make a difference?

3) How pissed would you be if he was suspended even one game for this crap?

especially since it's the Giants week 1

However, it wasn’t JUST reckless. he was already on probation and his reckless led to an accident which paralyzed a guy.

paralyzed?

I thought the guy had a recent hip replacement and will walk again?

by liger99 on Jul 9, 2009 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions

He's still not walking...

and has only left his house 1 or 2 times (since Dec) the last time I talked to his lawyer in May.

some articles say the guy is using a walker now, but weighs over 400lbs. Hopefully he can recover quickly.

Wow...really? 400lbs?

I have a picture of Corey when he was first in the hospital and I’d guess he weighed at most 175.

400 lbs link

another

I have no idea what to make of this being you saw a pic of him looking skinny right after the accident. There seems to be a lot of mixed info on the accident in general….from details of the accident to Corey’s recovery.

Yeah...but

While he was on probation, he was not charged with a probation violation.

Aaron Wilson pointed out the incident occurred while Haynesworth was on probation for driving his car more than 100 miles per hour in March 2008 but Haynesworth ultimately faced no jeopardy to his probation because officials weren’t aware of the new charges until after the 30-day period of supervised probation ended.

Which is just stupid if you ask me but whatever…I don’t see a lot of intervention by “the commish”, If on the other had alcohol was involved, no contest or not it woudl be an issue.

No contest vs. guilty

If i remember correctly, no contest isn’t EXACTLY a guilty plea. It’s more like acknowledging something was done wrong without taking responsibility for it. If I’m wrong, someone please let me know.

No contest

According to my mom who has worked in a law firm for more then 15 years, no contest means Haynesworth thinks the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him,but he’s not admitting to the alleged crime. Basically,thats what you said,i’m just confirming it.
