re: Jordan Jefferson to take the Stand

Seems to me this is entire deal is a big waste of time.

2 drunks start a fight and get their butts whipped in the middle of the night..

No one knows what really happened while the guy was laying down on the street.

the guy will be fine...time to move along is my 2 cents..

JJ take a lesson from the Bill Clinton school of answering questions. I can't be sure, I don't really remember, It hard to say. Depends on what your meaning of kick is? Might have seen someone stumble or trip on the twrip while he was on the floor, i mean lots of people drinking alchol and it was real dark and late, and yeah i had this headache that was messing with my vision and my thinking clearly. All i really know for sure is i was on my third diet coke and i didn't hit anyone. Enough said.

You guys are missing the significance of his testifying. He doesn't have to be guilty to get indicted; He only has to look guilty--even just a little bit. Putting him on the stand means that the defense is pretty confident that he can come off as innocent.

That's why I'm beginning to wonder, per my earlier post, if he's actually innocent. I never would have thought so before.

It is very hard to understand any bar fight much less describe how it started or who started it when you are a drunk spevtator at 2 a.m.

They make no sense and it is just a part of life for a healthy, young, red blooded american male.

People get hurt - it's part of the program. Do it at your own risk - the man code. Those who got hurt should just move on and try to learn from the experience. It can be dangerous. I saw a guy get shot one night and almost died. A lot of guys carry in La and TX. Best not piss them off. You never know who has one.

The grand jury thing is just crazy. Everyone just needs to go home and forget this. Let the guys back on the team and make them run it off.

Just curious: Why are all these witnesses just now showing up to testify? If JJ was innocent, why didn't all these people volunteer their testimony during the investigation? For, what, 2 weeks the police were investigating and to my recollection the majority of the witnesses were pro-"victims".
NOW suddenly we have a lot of players stepping up to testify. Where were they back then?
Looks bad to me.

He doesn't have to to testify at all. If he is going to be evasive, he would be a fool to testify, and his lawyer would not allow him to testify. If he is the slightest bit evasive or tentative in his answers, any chance to avoid indictment will be lost. A defendant testifying before the grand jury is a high risk strategy. Given that he apparently has a string of witnesses willing to testify that he didn't kick Lowery, and who are subject to perjury charges if they lie to the grand jury, his lawyer must be pretty confident that JJ will be a good witness on his own behalf.

There are possibly very good reasons. The bigger question is why didn't the police question them before?

I couldn't agree more. I've said it before in other threads, but I'll say it again.

For those interested, in 2010 (according to the BRPD website) in Baton Rouge, there were 69 murders, 58 rapes, 953 robberies, 1473 aggravated assualts and 3,973 burglaries and it seems the BRPD got smart on how to hide what's happening this year as I could find no year-to-date statistics on these crime catagories.

My belief is that our DA is working harder to protect his job than he is to do his job. The DA has prosecutorial discretion. Plead it down to a misdemeanor, be done with it, stop wasting valuable resources both in the DA's office and in the BRPD and try to go about reducing the more serious crimes in our city.

Like I said before, thanks to the BRPD and the DA's office, I still have to worry about my families safety when they go to the mall, but I no longer have to worry about them being attacked by rogue LSU football players. I feel much better now.

If JJ was your son, you'd be screaming bloody murder to have him exonerated immediately.
