re: Advocate columnist Matthew Harris believes Hill is done at LSU

These are contradictory statements.

Not necessarily. I think the court should have discretion. If a guy pleas down from a serious charge because the DA thinks it's at risk of losing a case, that should not be treated the same as somebody pleads guilty to a minor misdemeanor charge because that's all he's suspected of being charged with.

If that's the case, then in the Hill case, it would come down to what the DA and the court thinks happened in the Redemptorist case. If they think it was something serious, they might treat it one way, but if they think, as suggested here, that it was just a senior getting a BJ from a freshman, then they might treat it as a minor misdemeanor.

I have heard that the latter scenario is true, but I don't KNOW it to be true. If it's not true and if the DA thinks something more serious happened, then I would hope they could take that under consideration when they review his probation.

That make sense?
