GTripp, but if ST (and his crew of lawyers) took the plea, they would be admitting to a felony. A felony is BAD news!!! Here's the definition from West's Business Law textbook: "A crime that carries the most severe sanctions, usually ranging from one year in a state or federal prison to the forfeiture of one's life." Neither ST, his lawyers, nor anyone in Redskin's nation wants to see ST behind bars and away from the playing field.

What ST, and his legal team, are waiting on is a trial for a chance to either get all charges dropped (which I pray for every night), or get a lesser charge of a misdemeanor, which is defined as, "A lesser crime than a felony, punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to one year in other than a state or federal penitentiary." Which means that the jail sentence, should there be one, could be moved to a time outside of the NFL season.
