Fenokee Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports attorneys for Packers RB Ahman Green are considering a plea agreement but it could result in “ramifications that could affect Green's football career if he accepted it.” Green is facing a misdemeanor disorderly conduct/domestic abuse charge involving his soon-to-be-ex-wife. The trial is today and if convicted he faces a $1,000 fine or maximum 90 days in jail or both. Silverstein says: “Unless Green is cleared of all charges, he faces possible punishment by NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue under the league's personal conduct policy. Brown County District Attorney John P. Zakowski confirmed a plea offer had been made to Green and was aware that it could result in the NFL punishing Green if he accepted it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stimer Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Here is a cut and paste of the link I posted above ... u might need to register so I though I would just paste the article... Green accepts plea agreement By TOM SILVERSTEIN tsilverstein@journalsentinel.com Posted: Aug. 30, 2005 Green Bay - Green Bay Packers running back Ahman Green has agreed to a tentative plea agreement with the Brown County District Attorney that will allow him to avoid going to trial on misdemeanor disorderly conduct / domestic abuse charges, his attorneys announced Tuesday night. Advertisement Green was scheduled to appear in court this morning and was prepared to go to trial if necessary, but his attorneys said a deal was reached that satisfied both parties. The deal, which his attorneys would not reveal, must be approved by Circuit Court Judge Richard Dietz during proceedings this morning. Still at issue for Green is whether the plea agreement will allow him to avoid punishment by the National Football League for violating its personal-conduct policy. The policy states that anyone convicted of a criminal violation or accepting a plea to a lesser offense "will be subject to discipline as determined by the commissioner." The discipline could be a fine, suspension or banishment from the league. Green, who pleaded not guilty to the charges stemming from an April 25 argument with his wife, missed the last two days of practice to prepare for trial but is expected to rejoin the team immediately if the plea agreement is accepted. It is unclear whether he will play Thursday night in the exhibition finale against Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrappy1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 That should drop him down a few more slots in the rankings I guess. Still, Jamal Lewis got suspended only 2 games on federal drug conspiracy charges, I'd be shocked if Green got more than a game or two if anything at all for this.

Green would face an NFL suspension under the personal-conduct policy if he is convicted or pleads no contest to any charges. His atty can't do anything about it.

Here's the link: Link CrazedBronco 959779[/snapback] here is the important part for FF owners out of this article ... Green's lawyers worked with his agent to make sure the wording of the agreement doesn't violate the NFL player conduct code, so the NFL commissioner doesn't impose his own punishment such as a fine or suspension. i am for one, relieved ... he was my #3 but still, i had no usable starter after him.

McMichael, etc.) The article said he agreed to do community service and counseling. According to that info, he is not even close to as much a jerk as McMichael.

Easy n Dirty Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Isn't Ahman Green some sort of Batman freak? I seem to remeber that from a MNF feature done on him last year. "Mrs. Green...KAPOW!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
