No one ever asks Ray Lewis about the white suit, but I am going to assume he let’s them know those questions are off-limits.
Ray sat down with Cigar Aficionado to speak about his infamous double murder trial.
On being accused of a double murder: “Every moment in life is intentional. What I had to go through individually, as a person, not only prepared me for a journey that I couldn’t predict, but it prepared me to go through one of the most controversial seasons in my life.”
Ray explains he had a very hard time while he was in jail.
“For like the first seven, eight days I never ate anything outside of orange halves. If you saw the moldy bologna and things that they were trying to … I was not an animal. And I was not going to succumb to that. So every day [my friend] would bring me a bunch of orange halves. He snuck them in for me. … What happened to me, those 15 days, I will live for the rest of my life. And I’m OK with that.”
He also says he forgives the DA.
“I forgive him. Because my duty as a child of God is to forgive and keep moving. I pray for them. When I saw what was happening and when I saw what happened, I gave up trying to be liked. And with those guys, their names are in my Bibles, that hopefully God blesses them.”
No mention of the lives that were lost that night. Lewis paid a settlement to those families.
