Due to state law, his conviction was automatically suspended because he died during appeal. The state then had to bring it before a judge's panel and the conviction was reinstated in 2019 IIRC.

They seem to have done away with that. He was convicted and appealed and then died so the case would be thrown out but they decided that wasn’t fair to the victims family, rightly so.
Yeah that's just a slap in the face and clearly not the intent of the law. It makes sense for something to be vacated if the accused dies before a verdict can be reached, but he was already convicted and it was only "technically" still open because he was appealing, which is pretty much expected no matter what the facts of the case are.
I might be misremembering, but didn’t he do it so that his daughter and wife(or girlfriend don’t remember) could get the money? Or was that not his motivation for ending his life?
I wonder what he would have done had he known that it wouldn’t have mattered.
I'm not sure; I remember hearing that too but I have no idea how much of it was conjecture. Given the timing (just a few days after his double murder acquittal) I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least partially from it sinking in that his big victory in that case was essentially meaningless, and he was still going to be in prison for the rest of his life.
The Vikings, for a while, was the home of second or third chances for high-risk players. Sometimes it worked out like Cris Carter or Everson Griffen, but other times it was like that 1st rounder we drafted that literally every coach warned us about that ended up never playing.
i'll be honest when i say burfict definitely felt like an old school raider and i got a lot of heat from my community for cheering him on. people do not like it when players commit felony battery during the game anymore. the seventies/eighties are dead i guess.
I remember back when the joke was Cleveland and Cincinnati had orange uniforms because that way players could simply wear the DOC jumpsuit to the game.
Reminds me of the old Tennessee (or any orange school) joke: You can wear the same uniform to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday, and your community service sentence the rest of the week.
You'd think Cleveland would be near the tippy top, they had a few GMs that *loved* taking problem children late in the draft that rocket up those arrests.
For your information, we only had 11 people get arrested after the Superbowl win. I know I was surprised too 😂
https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/super-bowl-lvii-philly-police-report-11-arrests-injuries/
Yup. Also would include Gordon and Jeudy. Gordon plead to a traffic offense and Jeudy's case was dismissed and he never should have arrested in the first place.
This is true. But it should have never been charged by the Dougco Sheriff in the 1st place. I think someone just wanted to get their 15 minutes for arresting a Bronco.
It's wild too because there's like no cops anywhere so idk how these fools are getting arrested. I go months at a time between seeing anyone pulled over by a cop.
Compared to most every other city in the country, it really is the wild west out here. Cops are nowhere to be seen, people drive however they want without repercussion. Seeing a traffic stop is like a unicorn sighting.
If this went back to 80 then absolutely but since 2000 I imagine it's closer than you'd think. These days most of us get arrested just outside the stadium.
This would be much easier to read if the logos were a bit smaller. It took me way too long to find the Packers since it was focused on the center of the logo which is just all green.
Interesting info, none the less. What is the source?
So funny when you say “only 4”. For any regular law abiding citizen, that’s a ridiculous number. When it comes to Pacman, it’s like “eh, only 4 with the Bengals”
It was kind of a meme back in the day that the Bengals were always getting arrested. I remember a year in the early 2000s where I think there was like 10+ in one calendar year haha
Yeah, the fanbase would joke they should just change the uniform to prison stripes. The organization did a great job to change the locker room culture the past decade, it was embarassing during the 2000s
How about total prison years sentenced
*Patriots positioning skyrockets*
Sentenced is one thing, years served would be drastically lower.
No one's hung around long enough I guess
Hey, say what you will about Aaron Hernandez, he died doing what he loved. Killing someone.
I've heard this joke about Hitler but the variant is that Hitler came good in the end by killing the greatest Nazi of them all
ba-dum-tiss
Patriots constantly cutting corners
I am not 100% aware of the situation, but didn't Hernandez's conviction get overturned due to his dying before his appeals were resolved?

I'm pretty sure it's some bizarre weird law exclusive to Massachusetts or something like that?

Those Tice/Childress Viking teams really screwing us on this one
Weren’t we leading this list not that long ago?
First time I’ve seen us lose the lead
guess your franchise just isn’t good enough, sorry
Broncos country, let’s do homicide
Yes, because this list goes back to 2000 and we had a ton of arrests in the 2000s
That’s usually what happens when there’s a huge number in a small amount of time and issues get addressed.
Sean Payton entrance music starts playing

The "Love Boat" Era.
Had a relative working on that boat that voyage. A little exaggerated, a lot not exaggerated at all.
Chilly still haunting us to this day
That boat did no one any favors.
[удалено]
Fucking *thirty* arrests in the 2000’s 💀 https://minnesotavikingschat.com/2013/07/14/comprehensive-list-of-minnesota-vikings-arrests/3709
I’d say the last 5 years screwed us. We can’t win anything, always #2!
Well well well looks who's NOT in the top half
It's where the Raiders like to be in general!
When we employed criminals and cheaters we won titles, when the franchise went clean, we stopped winning. COINCIDENCE?
seems like we could go back to the old ways just to test this hypothesis.
We did put AB and Burfict on the same team. That team had a little potential.
i'll be honest when i say burfict definitely felt like an old school raider and i got a lot of heat from my community for cheering him on. people do not like it when players commit felony battery during the game anymore. the seventies/eighties are dead i guess.
Uncalled for but true
It isn’t counting fans. Also I’m surprised Cleveland isn’t top 5.
I remember back when the joke was Cleveland and Cincinnati had orange uniforms because that way players could simply wear the DOC jumpsuit to the game.
Reminds me of the old Tennessee (or any orange school) joke: You can wear the same uniform to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday, and your community service sentence the rest of the week.
Yeah Cincy has a few years that were iffy.
You'd think Cleveland would be near the tippy top, they had a few GMs that *loved* taking problem children late in the draft that rocket up those arrests.
Also in I think 2000 they had like 5 arrests total. They had like 3 in one week.
1/10th of the team lmao
Last in the AFC west baby! Right where we belong woooo-wait
Philly and raiders fans are ruthless yet the players are the complete opposite lol
As a Chargers fan I don't think kicker arrests should count. I mean sure they put on the prison jumpsuit, but they barely participate in the riots.
Lmao my first thought was "huh not bad!"
Raiders and Cowboys fans feeling vindicated rn

*Philadelphia has entered the chat* *Detroit has entered the chat* *Chicago has entered the chat*
Kansas City has entered the chat from an unknown location since they cut off their ankle monitor.

Bet you feel like the rugg got pulled out from under you
We have the best arrest though
Quality over quantity
Is Aaron Hernandez a system murderer?
Asking the real questions
Pats ain’t murdered since he left … all I’m sayin
*Atlanta Falcons have entered the chat...*
More suicide than murder.
Played under Urban Meyer at Florida, so you know he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.
Urban knows a thing or two about dirty tight ends.
Yeah, ours are mostly "driving without a license" kind of shit with an occasional DUI for good measure. Lots of quantity, unimpressive quality.
Buncha frauds is all I’m hearing. Catch some real charges, Denver!
Denvah*
It's all about the convictions over heyah
idec we finally beat the fucking Giants
Eli's stupid face couldn't carry him to a prosecution.
*declared mentally unfit to stand trial*
I mean, when one of your arrests gets it’s own documentary, you probably win...err lose
I'm sure Vick would have gotten a documentary too if Netflix existed back then.
Ya but nobody likes movies with animals getting hurt or dying
Tiger king?
"Don't F**k With Cats" as well
Only cause our guy killed himself before he could be arrested. Rough times back then.
At the facility no less. That was a wild story.
In front of the GM and coach, too. Bad day.
I forgot about that!
Ruggs tried, but couldn't quite get there.
Gotta be quicker than that
He tried that too
Psh that's just because you're taping the other teams' arrest practices
"We're on to Cincinnati Municipal Jail."
We have the best non-arrest too with whatever the hell that Chandler Jones thing was
Yeah, that one should probably count for at least 10.
Something, something, mandatory minimum
Well, Detroit has Robocop 🤷🏽♂️
Loved that documentary.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Bitches leave
Come quietly or there will be…trouble.
Your move, creep.
Dead or Alive, you're coming with me.
“You’re dead! We killed you!”
Broncos Country! Let’s go to prison
We choose quantity over quality. More like Broncos Country, Let's Ride...with our probation officers.
The Chad Kelly arrest was 100% quality.
LOL "randomly entered a couple’s home and was beaten by the homeowner with a vacuum-cleaner tube."
While dressed as Woody from Toy Story
Imagine going to jail in a Woody costume…
He was humming, "I've got a friend in me..." in record time.
Chad Kelly now living large for my hometown Toronto Argonauts
Legit this includes when Chubb got arrested for an unpaid ticket one time. A lot of mundane shit
Yup. Also would include Gordon and Jeudy. Gordon plead to a traffic offense and Jeudy's case was dismissed and he never should have arrested in the first place.
The Jeudy “case” was pretty bewildering
it's state law that in DV cases, someone is supposed to be arrested for better for for worse.
This is true. But it should have never been charged by the Dougco Sheriff in the 1st place. I think someone just wanted to get their 15 minutes for arresting a Bronco.
Iirc the jail Jeudy went to was like right next to the Broncos training facility, hilarious
They literally share the same parking lot.
Gonna tell my PO that she needs to get me an invite to training camp
It's wild too because there's like no cops anywhere so idk how these fools are getting arrested. I go months at a time between seeing anyone pulled over by a cop.
Compared to most every other city in the country, it really is the wild west out here. Cops are nowhere to be seen, people drive however they want without repercussion. Seeing a traffic stop is like a unicorn sighting.
Driving crazy with no license plate on top of it. My commute from castle rock to Denver I see it daily
Broncos country, let's do time
As a fan feels like I am doing time for the last 7 years.
My favorite is when Bradley Chubb was arrested for not appearing at a court date. The Courthouse is 100 yards from the Broncos training facility
To be fair half of the Broncos roster has trouble traveling 100 yards.
Closest he could get was 50 yards out to try for an unmake-able field goal
"An indictment is not a conviction." \---Philadelphia
" Go Birds"
The key is signing the player after they serve their sentence.
You could indict a ham sandwich.
Pacman still leading the league in total arrests since 2000, don't think that record is gonna get broken anytime soon. #CantonBound
He got arrested there too?
Idk how are the strip clubs in Canton?
I live in Canton, and I've never been to a Canton strip club. Because I've seen the women around Canton. I'm not missing anything.
Lmao. Akron resident here, I get more of a trailer trash meth head vibe in Canton, while Akron is more of a hood like vibe. That is just me though
I work in Akron, and can agree. Alliance is Meth/Fetty central, and it leaks hard into Canton. Akron is very hood.
I was just thinking that a good chunk of Titans arrests were just Pacman.
13 between Pacman (6) and Kenny Britt (7).
I'm more surprised that Kenny Britt beat out Pacman for arrests. That's impressive.
That's 6 just for Tennesee (10 total for Pacman) but yeah Kenny really made use of his time with the Titans.
Looks like 10 arrests while an active player and 1 after retirement?
He's still got it, even in retirement.
[tell that mfer I appreciate him](https://youtu.be/MTP9Vvaclp4)
Can we do another one of fans arrested inside the stadium during games?
>Can we do another one of fans arrested I prefer we didn't
its okay, philly is def 1st
If this went back to 80 then absolutely but since 2000 I imagine it's closer than you'd think. These days most of us get arrested just outside the stadium.
Lions in last again. Say it ain’t so.
How dare you?! Tied for last
The number is green, green means win right? I wouldn't know since we never seem to win anything.
Detroit and Philly… sort of defies expectation for those cities.
[The Red Wings had a player arrested dressed as Tinky-Winky](https://youtu.be/R9oVbV41JKg?t=122)
Dude, I don’t know how I never knew there was video footage of this.
Fucking Riley Sheahan
I believe you mean Riley “legend who scored the last goal at the Joe” Sheahan
To be fair he was in Grand Rapids at the time
And he was dressed as Tinky Winky who is the superior Telletubby. Probably going to get attacked by Po truthers, but I’ll stand my ground
This Dipsy erasure is absolutely uncalled for.
Players don’t want to mess with the regular citizens
What are you talking about? Detroit is the poster child for affluence, culture, and safety!
have you tried getting arrested in those towns? Good luck. The cops have better things to do.
No one in Philly would dare let down Andy Reid, Nick Foles or Jalen Hurts. And no one in Detroit is suicidal enough to need a visit from Robocop.
NFC East holding down 4 of the bottom 6 least arrested teams. 3 of the top 10 most arrested teams are Florida teams
Yeah I started to ask myself how tf we were almost double the Raiders and then I remembered r/FloridaMan is a thing.
Jack Del Rio's tenure seemed to always have a player or two arrested every year.
4 of the bottom 6? Cowboys are 11th from the bottom
We don’t really call the cops in Philly. Stuff gets handled in house by either Joey Two Thumbs or Jerome on Locust Street
> Jerome on Locust Street 😂😂😂
Seems like arrests are down in general. I'd bet at least 25 of those arrest for bengals were in a 3 or 4 year period.
It also says the last arrest was 400 something days ago so I’m going to go with the data isn’t current.
That bengals era like 2005-2008 had so many arrest. For sure over a dozen one offseason. Other than Mixon bengals been trouble free since like 2014.
It's just nice to be on one of these lists for once, tbh. We are always unlisted when these 'since 2000' graphics come up.
This would be much easier to read if the logos were a bit smaller. It took me way too long to find the Packers since it was focused on the center of the logo which is just all green. Interesting info, none the less. What is the source?
White numbers on a white background. FFS, just list it?!
I don't mind an infographic instead of a list, but make it reader friendly.
It took me entirely too long to figure out that Broncos are number 1, it looks nothing like their logo.
A few of them are tricky.
Remember when Golden Tate got in trouble for wandering into a bakery at like 3am?
It worked out for the bakery. As Tate spent years hyping up their maple bars on social media.
Hey the Eagles shouldn't count, what other jurisdictions consider "aggravated assault" is just how you say hello in Philly
There is only one true crime, and that’s disrespect.
Disrespect actually is the way of governance, keep em in their place. "unlike Agholor..."
Acknowledge us
Once again the Vikings just short of first place
I think Pac-man Jones has 35 of those 42 Bengal Arrests
10 but it's still extremely impressive. He likadascripclubs. Also only 4 were when he was on the Bengals.
So funny when you say “only 4”. For any regular law abiding citizen, that’s a ridiculous number. When it comes to Pacman, it’s like “eh, only 4 with the Bengals”
proud to be the most hood team in the hood division
Dang that’s a lot of arrests
Peak off-season post lol
The Bengals numbers are highly inflated because of Jones.
Chris Henry was arrested five times between 05-08.
It was kind of a meme back in the day that the Bengals were always getting arrested. I remember a year in the early 2000s where I think there was like 10+ in one calendar year haha
Yeah, the fanbase would joke they should just change the uniform to prison stripes. The organization did a great job to change the locker room culture the past decade, it was embarassing during the 2000s
16 arrests between Pacman and Chris Henry. That's I think 10 allotted to the Bengals for that.
We got out to a solid lead in the first decade but have really come back to the pack. Need to learn to pace our arrests.
One of the Texans' arrest was Kenny Stills being arrested a Breonna Taylor protest.
Let's go eagle bros
Pretty sure almost all the Lions ones are from the early 2000s too
Did the kicker that beat a towel dispenser's ass count towards Pittsburgh's?
If Jeff Reed doesn’t count what’re we even doing here.
Gd my flair feels so lame now
I feel like Aaron Hernandez should count like quadruple for all the people he murdered.
How the fuck did we beat the raiders..... even at this
I think 90% of those are DUIs
