"It's Done."

Croom says, "It's done."

Felony assault charges against six Mississippi State football players were reduced to misdemeanors today, their lawyer and coach said.

When the agreement was reached, each player pleaded guilty to misdemeanor simple assault, rather than the felony simple assault on a police officer, said Jay Perry, who represents the players.

I wonder why officer Armstead wasn't charged with a misdemeanor assault as well? If the stories we heard were true, which they seem to be since the charges were reduced, should Armstead not face the same penalties under the law as the players?

Also, rather ironic that the Starkville police chief was all to eager to be out in front of the media when this story broke, but according to Ian, "Neither Police Chief David Lindley, nor prosecutor Roy Carpenter, immediately returned messages seeking comment."

Figures.

Now the only issue that remains is whether any of these young men will miss any games.
