no, now.
he was off the team while the legal process played out.

the judge decided he was not in violation of his probation, and did not sentence him to any time for this crime.
the legal process is now over.

he's guilty of a misdemeanor (this time) and has been allowed back on the team.

this is very similar to what happened with Jordan Jefferson.
except Jefferson's legal situation carried into the season.

once a judge declared it a misdemeanor with little legal penalty, the guy was allowed back on the team.

So just to be clear, do you personally agree with the decision? What if he were a player for Alabama? What if he was a player for a team you have no interest in? You really don't think what he did, regardless of the judge's decision, warrants something more than "internal discipline?" Who knows, maybe he will still get suspended for 4 games or something, but if he doesn't sit at all it's a complete joke.

Yeah, he needs to sit. Frankly, this kid sounds like a bad apple and Miles would be better served cutting his losses. But ignoring the first offense and taking this in a vacuum there are two things that are still rotten here: (1) the "internal discipline" should be two or three games. Since game one is TCU of course he'll play. (2) Les Miles should be making the decision, and have the sack to say he's making the decision.

Just out of curiosity, what school did this judge attend?

edit: I'll go ahead and post myself...

personally, I don't like that he still got a scholarship after his incident from high school.

on this particular instance, I'll wait and see if he sits before making a judgement on this one.
Les is well known for keeping suspensions out of the media, so just because it wasn't announced, doesn't mean it won't happen.

i don't expect you to believe me, but I honestly don't think that had anything to do with this ruling.

Louisiana has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
The highest in the Country.
Our jails are all ridiculously overcrowded.


because of that, lots of crimes similar to this one (not the High School incident) go with out any time served at all. They are plead down to misdemeanors, and probation is handed out.

I truly believe that this same result would have happened in just about any Louisiana court with almost any Louisiana judge.
And the same result would have happened if it was you or me on the stand rather than an LSU star.

i personally know a few people who have been in bar fights.
some arrested on multiple occasions.

1 used a pool stick, and then a broken beer bottle as weapons.

none of them served a minute of jail time.
probation and community service only.

I think he was inferring that he is planning on flying down to Louisiana and going to (attempt to) kick your ass.
