Lawyers for Sharper Christian Kirk Jersey , who lost an earlier appeal, filed a 50-page memorandum this week in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, arguing he was not adequately advised by his trial lawyers on the consequences of his 2016 guilty plea. The memorandum also contends the trial judge and the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals made errors.
Sharper’s case arose from allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted as many as 16 women in four states.
He had retired from the league in 2011 and was working as an NFL network analyst when women in several cities began telling police they had blacked out while drinking with him and woke up groggy to discover they had been sexually assaulted.
After he was arrested and jailed in Los Angeles in 2014, he initially fought charges. As allegations and criminal charges mounted Youth Rashaan Gaulden Jersey , a ”global” plea deal involving the federal court in New Orleans and state courts in Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada was announced. The deal was expected to result in Sharper spending about nine years in prison.
But U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo in New Orleans rejected the sentence as too light. She gave Sharper the option of withdrawing his plea. After he decided to maintain the plea, Milazzo sentenced him to 18 years and four months.
Sharper’s 14-year NFL career included stints with the Green Bay Packers http://www.philadelphiaeaglesteamonlines.com/markus-wheaton-jersey , the Minnesota Vikings and, finally, in New Orleans with the Saints, where he was part of the team that won the 2010 Super Bowl.
The motion filed Wednesday said Sharper deserves more credit in sentencing for his cooperation with prosecutors in his own case that that of two Louisiana co-defendants.
”Mr. Sharper intended Marcedes Lewis Packers Jersey , and still intends, to accept responsibility for his behavior,” Sharper’s lawyers said in court filings. ”He does not seek to escape blame in this matter.”
Milazzo issued an order posted Thursday that gives prosecutors until Aug. 27 to respond.
Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey says he supports the NFL's new policy requiring players to stand for the national anthem or stay in the locker room.
McCaskey says the vote by NFL owners two weeks ago will "return the anthem to what it should be 鈥?a unifying force" even though the policy "isn't perfect."
McCaskey says players should stand. But he acknowledges those who kneeled the past two years to protest policy brutality and racial inequality raised "legitimate issues" that deserve action.
He also says the policy was not a reaction to criticism by President Donald Trump, who added to the feud with the league by canceling the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' White House visit this week.
