Alvin Kimura was the initiator and the front man of 4 men that beat the crap out of a innocent person, who made the mistake of wanting to get into an elevator at Dre's nightclub... and after 1.5 years of BS through the courts, pleads no contest to reduced charges and walks away with a 3 game NFL suspension. Four camera's captured it and they bragged about it in a limo later that night. And the limo had a video system, too. All this is public domain.
For the uninformed, this was because he paid off the person he beat the crap out of and settled with him the night before the trial was supposed to start.
Must be nice to have the $$$ to do this and very, very typical for Vegas to wash away these issues.
NFL plays along. As long as it's not domestic violence, you're OK!
I said right off that this suspension was too harsh. Eskridge did everything right, cooperated with the authorities, jump through all the hoops, yet he still gets slapped with 6 games. I don't think he should have been let off Scott free, but a 2 game suspension would have been plenty to show everyone that the league doesn't tolerate domestic abuse.
But, on the other hand, we can't complain as Geno got off without so much as a slap on the wrists for his incident, and he's a helluva lot more important to our team than Eskridge.
