I would expect someone to come out and say something in his behalf yes. Mingo has met many people in his lifetime. I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with his family, but I would expect someone to say something positive on his behalf. That happens all the time. The only things I’ve seen are negative.

He will have no shortage of character witnesses. As for biological family I’m not sure because I don’t know them. He wasn’t estranged though from my terrible memory. I believe he had a Micheal Oher type situation at some point in high school where he may have moved in with one of his closest friend’s family. Not 100% sure.
I wouldn’t hesitate to say in court that I had nothing but the highest respect for him with not a single negative thing. I wasn’t in his close group of friends and lost contact but spent a considerable amount of time around him and I thought he was as genuine and innocent of a person as one could be.
But I always suspected though that he would struggle fitting in with an NFL team but that’s because he just seemed so shy and not a fit in what I imagine an NFL lockeroom would. And he definitely bounced around in the NFL. He was no Ray Lewis personality type that’s for sure.

But I am wrong about most things. I’ll admit that.
