Now that he died, how can that not be homicide, even if it was in self defense?

Chris was beating on the truck she said, on the second tape released...so he wasnt happy but either way, his fiancee is the reason he is dead. facts are facts. He may have tried to kill her once she stopped...but she decided that he was too dangerous to be kept alive...after he was slung out, she didnt even call 911 on him...so that proves she wanted him to die....

You guys are missing the point. The fault lies with both of these supposed adults involved. I use the word adult loosely.
Chris should have never jumped on the back of the truck and started pounding on it. A human life (yours) is more valuable than a pickup truck or an ATV or getting disrespected. The women inside is half his size and strength of an elite adult male NFL football player. She was most likely scared for her life.
I am sure if a guy twice your size and strength jumped on you car and started pounding on it you would be scared as well.
These people made very bad decisions while in an out of control rage. Plain and simple. Nobody is more or less at fault in this situation. They both made bad decisions that they now regret. As I am sure Tiger and his wife now regret. It should never have reached that level of violence. One of them should have backed off.

interesting reports

while speculating and talking out of our asses in this thread I'll say that he was likely mad about her acting spoiled about what she wanted for the wedding and she thought that she deserved to have every penny spent on her that she wanted

SolidSnake84 · 12-18-2009, 03:21 PM

Thats what it seems like.....the lady just wanted to be spoiled because she probably figured that Chris would make all the money....and some of the NFL guys just can't seem to stay away from it....like Travis Henry....he had 9 kids by 9 different woman, and child support basically robbed him of everything that he would have ever made in the NFL...

Somebody needs to educate these players about making good choices, obviously....

Chad Ochocinco wants to wear his friend's #15 in the next game but as we know from Portis' attempt to wear #21, it was denied by the NFL.

I still expect Chad to ignore the league and just pay the fine to do it.

Some people are claiming he's doing it to promote himself, but I actually think Chad is doing this to honor his friend. I saw him in an interview last night and he was clearly shaken by the loss.

He may be a crazy attention whore, but in reality, he doesn't commit crimes, hurt anyone or disrespect anyone while having his fun. He's a show-boater, but a different breed than we're used to. He's more like a class clown than arrogant jerk who wants to embarrass and crush everyone around him. If anything, he seeks to embarrass himself instead of others.

I've never been a fan of his and glad the rumors of him coming to the Skins last year fell through, but I can't run him down after losing a friend. He's not doing anything flamboyant to profit on Henry's identity and death, he just wants to wear his number to honor him. When Portis wanted to do the same after Taylor's death, I understood the reasoning behind it. Maybe since I'm a Skins fan who knows what it is like to lose a player, but I have some sympathy for the Bengals and Ochocinco in this situation.

I say go for it, Chad. Pay the fine and honor your friend the way you want to.

They're wearing helmet stickers too.

What is with the NFL that are such number Nazi's?
Who cares what number someone wears as long as they can be identified by that number?

listening to reports from the crime scene investigators, they are roughly 90% sure of what happened. The tire marks in the road indicate clearly that she was deliberatley swerving to try and throw him off, which she succeeded in doing. They also said speed is a factor and he may have had less serious injuries had he fallen off at a slower speed. Apparantley she was going pretty fast..

Looks like just a matter of time before she is charged with manslaughter. It's not 1st degree murder, but at the very least it could be negligent homicide, etc....

Someone already posted what I said...

They just discussed this on the NFL network and come on do you really think Ochocinco gives a flying F**k what Roger says he can and can't do as far as that goes!?
Chad already said they can take my whole paycheck
Can we get a Bengals fan in here to let us know if he does it lol

I found it interesting that he ended up a half a mile away from the 911 caller.

I will keep my initial feelings about her to myself because all the facts are not known. But look at it this way. If there is a silver lining in all of this his kids (and or family depending on where he resides) will receive his assets and she has no rights as a spouse.

The prison guards will give her the treatment that she deserves.

SolidSnake84 · 12-19-2009, 08:47 PM

Im sorry for my negativity in this thread about the Tonga lady, but it just seems too obvious from hearing people talk over the last 24 hours...especially the people who knew them.

You have all drawn your own conclusions, but me not even being a Crime Scene investigator can pretty much see the black and white in this case..

Add up everything we know so far...the 911 calls...the witnesses who saw Tonga's crazy driving...and the fact that if it were an 'accident' she would have surely called 911 when she saw Chris go out of the truck/jump whatever...

We know they were arguing about wedding cost. Apparantley it looked like she was trying to pull a fast one on Henry with the expensive photographer, etc.. (Henry had no idea of the cost). It seems too cut and dry here. I'm not saying she's a gold digger...but come on seriously. She had 3 kids and Chris was a father figure and more likely, an easy meal ticket.

Last i heard today, its only a matter of time before charges are filed on her. Likely 2nd degree manslaughter, failing to report an accident, etc....we will see what the homicide investigators decide...

Praying for his family, Bengals organization, and fans he left behind. Thoughts and prayers are with him.
