It's too late for me to get my brain wound back up to put together a well thought out guess. However, since you posted this particular example, I'm gonna say you got him off of the felonies and he paid for the damage to the door. Maybe some type of misdemeanor.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! A no contest plea to misdemeanor simple criminal damage to property. Six months bench probation, with the sole condition that he make about $150.00 in restitution for the busted door. What the cops didn't know -- and didn't bother to find out -- was that my client was a diabetic who had had a tooth extracted the day before. He couldn't eat, but still took his maintenance meds, which bottomed his blood sugar out, leading to hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can mimic intoxication, up to and including alcohol smelling breath. We got the records from his doctor and dentist, provided them to the ADA and she, in effect, said "F that, I ain't prosecuting this guy but he's gotta pay for the door." And the point is, obviously, all we've got right now in JJ squared is the cops' version.
Why thank you, thank you very much. One of these days I'll tell you the one about getting a guy facing life (as in real life, the rest of his days) in prison five years probation.
What made his clothes fall off???:wave: BTW, it still seems info missing from this JJ deal.............not sure why bar owner and bouncer were not more involved in the process. In addition, I wonder what the BAC was on the marine..........was he driving the car he got of????
Well, that's a great story, and it sounds theoretically plausible, and I am sure you could convince non-medical people of this possibility, especially with the some sort of statement signed by a "doctor". But, if he smelled like a "brewery" and did all of what you outlined, then I would bet the farm that he was loaded, probably a mixture of meds, lack of eating, but also alcohol was involved. The fruitiness of ketotic acidosis would not make him smell like a brewery and would not give you a high alcohol reading. I am not saying it could not falsely affect these findings, but you make it sound like it is a twin sister. Kudos to you for getting your client off, but he was probably lying, and drank a brewery in addition to being diabetic, not eating, and taking vicodin, or something like that. There are diabetics who get mouth surgery every day and take vicodin, etc, and don't do what you describe.
Additionally, bottoming out of blood sugar puts you in a coma. It does not make you manic and do things you would not have done "sober", no matter how you define sober, i.e. chemicals, prescriptive or non-prescriptive, changes in medical physiology, such as acidosis, etc. Sure, with a low blood sugar, you could remain conscious, and do some silly behavioral things, but not knock down a door, and you certainly would not smell like a brewery. That's all a bunch of theoretical non-sense, and not medical reality.
Why don't we get drunk and scr.. oopps fight I compare Jefferson to Marcus Randall in many ways. You just never who was going to suit up. One week it was a talented athlete with all the football smarts in the world and the next it was like duh....(yeah, I know Randall was more duh than smarts). My biggest knock was Jordan could not play in the elements - wind and/or rain. The Cap 1 bowl and the Washington games (2011) are case in point. I'm really glad he's gone but I just didn't want to see it happen this way and at this time. In the spring after that horrible spring game would have been the time to get rid of both him and Lee.
Hey, Paradiseinc....I'm diabetic AND exhibit strange behavior. So there. I once took a drug test (pre employment) and the test came back negative. It said I was not on drugs, but the lab results included drugs I should have been on, but wasn't....go figure. :insane:
What is the possibility that JJ red shirts this season? If he is found innocent (which could take a few months) he could play next season. Is it too late to red shirt him?
