Mcmichael's Stupidity In Calling 911....drew Cant Believe It.

BOTTOM LINE IS YOU DON'T HIT A WOMAN.

McMichael is a CHUMP for doing so. Plus, he kept on hitting her when he had knocked her down. That is just ridiculous.

Years ago, I worked for the Dade County Public Defender's Office. It was an internship during law school. It was a while ago, so I can't be sure how much the laws and procedures have changed, but this is what I remember. There's a few things that are being missed here. This is not a simple battery. RM struck a pregnant woman. (Yes, a push counts). This is a felony. It is on par with striking someone using a weapon. I doubt the wife can be charged with a felony. Most states have laws requiring prosecution when there are injuries in a domestic violence case. Those that don't usually have No-drop policies in domestic cases where the parties don't want to press charges. The most important issue here is whether the prosecutor feels there is enough evidence to pursue the case. I'm sure that RM's attorney will spend a great deal of time trying to convince the prosecutor that no charges should be filed. If they are filed, then I expect that speedy trial rules will be waived and that the case will be resolved after the season.

The NFL suspension thing is separate. I think it applies if a player admits to certain conduct, regardless of what his charge is. Either way, I doubt that there will be any suspension served this season. The NFL will wait until the case is resolved.

They should bring her up on charges. She made the decision to put her baby in danger by striking a much bigger man while he is drunk. That is the problem with today's society.

IMO calling the police was the best thing Randy could of done. Even if he did nothing wrong, and she slipped on her own, she could of still called the police on him and he is screwed. Since he called the police he at least has a leg to stand on if this does go to trial.

DCH seems to be posting the worst case scenario. Please remember that this is his first incident. He won't catch that much hell on a first offense. If anything he will get some slack for actually dialing 911 because it shows that he was attempting to diffuse the situation.

RM and his wife simply need counseling. This entire incident can make a marriage stronger only if they both learn from it and realize that they both will benefit from a mutual agreement to settle their differences by communicating and discussing them in a respectful manner.

You got to remember DCH is only posting the same thing that was in the papers concerning doing time. These type cases aren't taken lightly by the jurdicial system, that's why they don't leave it in the hands of the woman to press charges.
 
Know what how? That you don't hit a woman????????????? I would imagine that was common sense and what you should have been taught growing up.

If you mean how do I know that's what he did......

" He told investigators Cawanna McMichael "hit him across the head with her hand," and his wife fell to the ground when he pushed her. McMichael's wife said her husband then hit her her several times."

Randy says he pushed her.

His wife says he hit her several times.

So you only believe what the woman says?

I dont think you understand whats up here. She commited the Battery. he commited battery after she committed it first! He can claim self defense, and if all he did was push her, then i think a friggin jury would determine that he did everything very well under the circumstances to protect himself and others. I dont think, especially after changing her story 2 times so far that she is looking very good right now in front of a judge. If it were to end up a he said, she said, she didnt say (as far as i can tell) that he hit her first. He simply came home drunk and was puking in the toilet. Now if i am puking in the toilet and being yelled at by a pregnant wife who is all pissed off, who do you think strikes the first blow when he calls 911? If i am a juror, i am thinking RM did everything right. Im sure RM learned this in a seminar on this crap.

Oh, I'm an attorney practicing 11 years now, so I understand very well what's up, though I've done very very little criminal work. However, the principle is the same in civil and criminal cases: if everyone agrees as to what happened, then there's no case as you said. BUT, that's why I said in the previous post that if it gets into "he said X, she said Y", there's a factual question (e.g., what really happened?) for a jury to decide. Anytime a question goes to a jury, it's a big die roll, so it would be in everyone's interest if they both just drop the charges, which as a practical matter, you stated previously and I agree with you.

I think it is documented that she has changed her story twice now. they also are reported to be sorry that this has happend in court and i would imagine a judge will judge accordingly but i would like to point out that the media's headlines are half right, they both were in for Assault and Battery, not just RM, which leads people to believe that RM is the only one who is at fault here. Once again, the media is only out to get ya!

Two points that everyone seems to forget...
 
Nothing will happpen with this. If there is another incident...if there is...maybe the Phins will not resign him. I doubt anything will become of this. If he keeps his nose clean, which I personally think he will, we'll be fine.
I'm more concerned with Rickey's habit of puffing.

I'm with you man. But obviously some of us must know he's guilty or something!? I don't know how else to explain some of the final determinations some are making, they must know more than we do. I know they must have been there. No wait...

Of coarse. How else do you think Boomer gets laid? :lol:
There are times when its okay to hit a woman. But then again she's longer
a woman if she takes on the role of a man. Example, if a woman was to slip a punch by me and I saw a star or two, more then likely my instincts would kick in and she should be so lucky not to see anything more then my backhand.
I'm sure there are those of you that would say you should try to grab her or sit her aside or blah blah blah. Those of you out there no what I mean especialy if there is any passion or anger involved.
 
I heard on ESPN radio that he came home after celebrating his 25th b-day with his buddies and was getting sick in a downstairs bathroom when his wife came in and became irate.

She was yelling at him and slapping him in the back of the head while he was puking. Allegedly telling him he was stupid for getting so drunk and very irate at his state.

He then pushed her and told her to be quiet. She slapped him again, at which point (according to them) grabbed her right arm and began smacking her with an open hand.

That was all the info they gave about it. Take it for what it's worth.
