My nephew was brutally beaten and murdered and nobody is paying for it," Baker's uncle, Greg Wilson, told USA TODAY Sports. "Everything is so fresh in our mind, it's just like it happened yesterday. We'll never forget this."

Only Lewis pleaded guilty in relation to the case: for obstruction of justice, a misdemeanor. He originally was charged with two counts of murder but struck a deal with prosecutors in exchange for his testimony against two of his companions that night, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting.

Lewis never directly linked his two friends to the killings, and they were acquitted. Lewis had testified that Oakley, Sweeting and another man had gone to a sporting goods store the previous day to buy knives. Baker's blood later was found in Lewis' limo. Having fled the crime scene, Lewis told the limo's passengers to "keep their mouths shut." The white suit Lewis was wearing that night — on Super Bowl Sunday — never was found.
"I'm not trying to end my career like this," Lewis said in his hotel that night, according to the testimony of a female passenger in the limo.

Welcome to America in 2018

Guy accused of grabbing a woman's butt 20 years ago, blackballed from working ever again.

Guy closely associated with a murder, hall of fame hero!

The Ray Lewis narrative is CRAZY to me. At best he actively obstructed a murder investigation by lying to the police and destroying evidence, at worst he was a participant in the crime. YET he is propped up as this Christian role model by the media.

Bizarre, it's like nobody remembers this guy was actually charged with murder once upon a time.

Before the Internet era, no one cares.



Just like Jordan and his gambling problems

Idiots who think Ray Lewis is guilty of murder are as delusional as people who think OJ is innocent

Leave the man alone. He's a good guy who was caught up in a bad situation, it can happen to anybody.

Seems like it should obviously fit the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" mantra oft repeated on these boards.

This is terribly sad, but absolutely true. It's a shame.

He probably wasn't involved with the murder, but he definitely obstructed justice.

One of them busted a champagne bottle on a member of his groups heads. Just can't feel to sorry for someone who does that. Youve just declared that youre down for the type of violent fight that ensued.

People love to hold wealthy people to a completely different standard in this country.

But it was never proven he did anything.

Oh wait. He's black. He's guilty.

But the judicial system always lets the wealthy walk.

Obstructing justice in a double murder investigation can happen to anybody?
