Does Lewis need to come clean or is this all over and done?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/01/10/ray-lewis-baltimore-ravens-atlanta-murder-2000/1566198/


I never thought the real story and there has never really been justice. But there was a trial and a civil trial so is it a done deal? At the very least he needs to come clean about the white suit. The fact that this has never been resolved makes me think he got away with murder or at the very least assault and battery with intent.

Which was to leave the scene of a murder...never taken responsibility for that...even if he didn't pull the trigger, he showed an incredible lack of maturity and responsibility

2. It's funny (or maybe not funny at all) how sports figures get vilfied

for PED's on a daily basis and especially with the recent HOF Baseball voting but the Yellow Brick Road to the HOF for a guy who may have been involved in a multiple murder is all but hushed. Oh, it gets a mention but his career has been one let's not talk about it.

of the two murdered men must feel. I cannot stand him either. I don't care how many "locker room prayers" he leads, how many people talk about what a "good guy" he is. A little modesty in light of his past would have gone a far longer way...

I can't stand the SOB. The adulation he's been shown this season makes me want to vomit.

11. His testimony certainly didn't do the prosecution any good

As the people who he testified against were found not guilty. They argued it was in self-defense and it seems the jury agreed so again, who the f knows?

14. Oh, he knows. There is a reason that his suit, probably blood stained, disappeared.

As to the legal issue, it was probably a messy trial that a jury had trouble sorting out. What we do know is Ray's buddies got off on self defense while only the other guys turned up dead.

I live outside of Atlanta and followed this case.

Can't stand him.
