Not a maniac, or intending to go nuts on you. Personally, I find it horrid that someone could abuse an animal. However, from what I understand, the DA along with the police department declined to prosecute after conducting an investigation. Now, I recognize the distasteful amount of graft that many suspect goes on behind the scenes when football players are involved in the criminal justice system.
That said, I feel like the KPD has not really attempted to give many players on our squad a pass in recent memory. It's not exactly like it was back in the 90's.
As an attorney, I understand the sorts of deals that can be struck, but the only facts we have to parse here are that (1) Beasley was accused of untoward acts against a kitten; (2) those accusations have been deemed unmerited and he was not convicted of any crime. He's not a very good player, and I hate having to rely upon him. BUT, if we are going to demand that those accused of crimes be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, then I can't pillory the guy when he hasn't been proven to have committed the act. Just my two cents.
