One year supervised probation, no jail time is the sentence just heard this on the Wolf & Doug Show.

Now we wait for Roger Goodell to have his say, and this will finally be done with.

If it is anything like the Big Ben case, he'll hand down a stiff suspension, e.g. 3-5 games, but will reduce it later for 'good behavior'. The idea is to incentivize the knucklehead to stay on the straight and narrow.

sexual assault allegations trump this by far though IMO

Agreed! But the system didn't convict Big Ben. Technically he's 'innocent' in both the 2008 & 2010 incidents. D.W. is guilty and sentenced.

I would think pleading guilty to a felony aggravated assault in which a woman was choked and her collarbone broken trumps two sexual assault allegations and zero criminal charges.

Big Ben was suspended for 6 games and it was eventually reduced to 4.

Why should DWash get any less than that?

He should also have to undergo a league-mandated "professional behavior evaluation" and "adhere to any counseling or treatment that is recommended by the professional evaluators."

Big Ben had also demonstrated a pattern of this behavior as evidenced by a previous allegation. Rape 2x > assault.

The insiders seem to think D-Wash will get a 1-2 game suspension. Sounds about right.

And before anyone asks: the marijuana suspension has zero impact on this issue as they're under different disciplinary categories.

Yes.

Here are the details:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_player_conduct_controversy#Ben_Roethlisberger

On July 17, 2009, a civil suit was filed in Washoe County, Nevada District Court accusing Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting Andrea McNulty, 31, in June 2008 in his hotel room while he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebrity golf tournament. No charges were filed in the case.

On March 5, 2010, it was revealed that a woman from Milledgeville, Georgia had accused Roethlisberger of sexual assault. While Roethlisberger was once again not charged with a crime following the events at the nightclub, the league still suspended him for six games, which was later reduced to four.

This is the only time in league history a player has been suspended under the personal conduct policy without being charged with a crime.

Doesn't it still show a pattern for being an idiot?

certain criteria have to be met in order to file charges....rape is very difficult to convict on(unless you are a boxer)....in American somewhere in the neighborhood of 90% of rape cases never get a conviction, and about 60% never have official charges filed....... in cases where the event is not reported until months later,...it is nearly impossible to collect any physical evidence.

And there is the criminal case versus civil case burden of proof, e.g. 'beyond a reasonable doubt' versus 'a preponderance of the evidence'.

does anyone ACTUALLY know this is the case for sure? I think it's really weird that under a code of conduct that Goodell has laid out, that one wouldn't effect the other.

Yes. They're under two different domains for punishment, whether we agree with it or otherwise. Jurecki made mention of this when D-Wash was arrested.
