Sentencing set for April 11. Lets hope for probation. Hopefully they can appeal and push it for another year.

Probation?  The guy is going to spend the next five to seven years in prison.  Career over.  Even if by the grace of God he did get parole,  you think the Pats want a convicted felon on the team?

You're predicting 5-7 years in prison? The guy has no record at all, so I doubt it's that. Plus, he admitted to resisting, so it's not like he was denying nothing happened.

It's already odd that he wasn't even involved in the original incident, was grabbed from behind in a crowd and each the victim and cop's testimonies don't even match.   Say what you want, but I'd be annoyed if a cop grabbed from behind without cause.  

I wonder if the jury was all white? lmao

Ouch!

Hard to ignore it. Black jock who is now with the evil Pats being judged by an all white jury in lillywhite Lincoln, NE. 

Once the initial victim testified that Dennard wasn't even the one who punched him and his testimony didn't match the cop's, with so little evidence, I figured there wasn't enough to get a conviction.

See, I am wrong plenty! hhaaa

This was a kangaroo court. The cop went for treatment and was told to take ibuprofen. LMAO

The article states; "The law requires only that prosecutors show Dennard intentionally, knowingly or recklessly swung at the officer, injuring him as a result."

Sorry, there was no proof of injury simply because the cop said his jaw hurt. Hopefully the judge will rectify this miscarriage of justice with a light sentence.

Or, a kangaoo jury.  Why did it take 24 hours to decide if Dennard punched the cop? Bizarre. Like they need to sit around and talk about all the inconsitencies in the case? lol

Either there is definitve proof or it's a he said/she said incident. It's not like the cop had medical proof of injury to from a punch. All he had was some scrapes on his neck which is consistent with someone resisting arrest/with flailng arms, etc.

Definitely a smelly kind of situation from the beginning.
