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.

Well, you are right. If ST is truely innocent, he did the right thing. I'm just saying if he's trying to get off on reasonable doubt (if he actually did it), then he made a mistake, because the plea bargain was for probation instead of a jail sentence.
God willing, he wins and is aquitted on all charges.
