The 13-plus years in prison that former LSU, McNeese State University and Miami Dolphins running back Cecil “The Diesel” Collins served for a 1999 burglary in Miami may not be the last of the time he spends behind bars.

The Louisiana Supreme Court cleared the way earlier this month for prosecutors to once again try to persuade a state judge to revoke Collins’ probation in a pair of 1998 Baton Rouge cases and send him back to prison for up to five years.

he breaks into a house and gets 20 years?

I'm not saying what he did was right, but that seems like a little too long

That man should have been freed a long time ago. This is getting ridiculous. The punishment definitely has not fit the crime here.

Cecil Collins is a sick f'er. He deserves any time he gets.

The guy broke into three homes in two states and messed with two women.

I don't have too much sympathy for him and I sure in the hell don't want him living anywhere around me!

I wish they'd leave this man alone to live his life. He's done his time. There are more dangerous criminals out there who haven't served nearly the time Collins has.

Cecil has paid his debt to society. Barring his commission of another crime, they need to just leave him alone.

This is beginning to smack of a vendetta on someone's part.

Collins is living in Florida under a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. He agreed to waive his right to challenge extradition from Florida to Louisiana if East Baton Rouge Parish prosecutors won their appeal.


Why would he agree to waive his right to challenge extradition?

quote:

The state 1st Circuit Court of Appeal reversed Caldwell in September, and the state Supreme Court affirmed the reversal by denying Collins’ appeal Jan. 17.

“We need to schedule a (probation revocation) hearing,” Bernie said, adding she has spoken with Collins’ attorney, Rodney Baum, and Caldwell’s office.

Baum contends Collins has been punished significantly already.

In the Baton Rouge cases, Collins pleaded guilty in April 1999 to two felony counts of unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling and two misdemeanor counts of simple battery.


Can he successfully argue for time served, even though it was in FL?

Probation violations carry longer sentences. He didnt get all this time just for breaking into a house. Get your shite straight people.

Sadly, this dude is a sexual deviant that can never be cured, outside of castration.

He has had multiple incidents while in prison where he repeatedly tried to put his weenie on female guards.

He will not change and whatever day he is released, innocent women near him won't be safe.
