| Crowell to Alabama State siap - They just said on the news he is transferring to Alabama State and can play this season. That is if he can manage to get probation. |

| I wouldn't be surprised at all for this to plea out to almost nothing or for him to be found not guilty. Looks like he hired a big time defense attorney. Cops said they smelled marijuana, found none. Defense atty will kill them on that. Defense atty will also likely ask each player that was in the car if they saw Crowell with the gun or if they had ever seen him with a gun. They will probably say no, and try to say that someone must have planted it in his car, being that he is a high profile athlete. Still, I doubt it goes to trial and will most likely plea out. |

He gave consent. Suppressing the evidence will be nearly impossible. |

| Big time attorney has offered his services free of charge to the Crowell family. This guy has represented athletes and celebs in the past. Everybody around here seems to think Crowell will get hit with just probation. |

Traces, residue, rolling papers, and whatever else. Now, I didn't see the full report, but from the media report, it stated that they found nothing.
I didn't say they were going to try and suppress the evidence. You're right, if you give consent and it's there, you're not going to be able to keep it out. But unless they can find some way to tie that gun to him, he could easily say that it's not his, and he's never seen it before. And who knows, it may actually be the truth. Maybe one of the other guys brought it. Maybe it had been in there for a while from someone else and he didn't know about it. I doubt it, but it's all about whether or not they can tie it to him. If not, I can hear it now..."Why would I have given consent to search the car, when I had done nothing wrong and had nothing illegal in the car?" That's why the prosecution won't take this to trial, and he'll get to plea out to almost nothing. |

If his fingerprints r on it then no excuse. If not then I can see all the excuses/scenarios being thrown out there until one sticks. Especially when u get "free" services from a high powered local attorney. Not shady at all....  |

If that gun was in Crowell's car, and no one else speaks up to claim it, it's his. |

| So assuming he just gets probation and goes to s Bama to play next yr. would we as Vol fans be ok with cdd recruiting him? I know it depends on where we r at at the position, but besides all that, with his history would it be worth it???
Iirc The Big East has a rule that a player can't transfer from one big east school to another even after a stint at a lower tier school. Would this be something that SEC schools would be comfortable with??
Just wondering that's all... |
