Randall Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ohio prosecutor: keep Clarett in prison, By Associated Press POSTED: 03:10 p.m. EDT, Jun 18, 2009 COLUMBUS: A prosecutor is opposing former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett's request for early release from prison. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien says Clarett hasn't made a strong case that he should be released so early in his prison term. Clarett was sentenced in September 2006 to serve at least 3 1/2 years for a holdup outside a Columbus bar and a separate highway chase that ended with police finding loaded guns in his SUV. Clarett has asked the Ohio Parole Board for clemency in the form of a pardon, reprieve or commutation of his sentence. His attorney says Clarett has an opportunity to play NFL, arena or Canadian professional football if he's released within the next few months. Clarett, as a tailback, led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Maybe AF2, since the regular Arena League is inactive now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Why couldn't he play in the CFL? If he shines there and stays out of trouble, I'm sure a team would bring him in to see what he's got. He's 25 years old, and is nearing the end of his sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Nice cut n paste Anyway I don't know what they're talking about, Clarett has the strongest case of all for leniency: he was an NFL player! (sorta) That's like the ultimate get outta jail free card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtdickens Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 He will be a career criminal. He did a lot of unreported crap in Columbus before he got caught with the lint roller. Something is wrong with this guy mentally, something is broken in there. He was so dark and manipulating and the way he could hide things and put on a good front is disturbing.

Why would I put $1000 when you would only have to put up $1? I don't recall saying he would be in the NFL either. I said if he went to the CFL and stood out that an NFL team would take a look at him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorta) That's like the ultimate get outta jail free card. He never even played a pre-season game. Stinking in training camp doesn't count.
