Upon first glance, one would say what Ray Lewis was accused of and what he plead guilty to is worse than what Ray Rice did (they are both bad). Ray either killed someone at worse and at best he helped cover it up, then he dimed out the wrong people who were acquitted of the crime.
With that being said Ray did get away with it and no one really brings it up in regard to his career.
WHERE IS THE WHITE SUIT RAY!!!!
His career went off uninterrupted and Rice was banished for life, so I get what the Lawyer is saying.
DeAndre Baker’s attorney believes the Giants cornerback is the victim of a “shakedown” and is being accused of a crime he did not commit. But he also believes Baker has been “scared straight” by this brush with the law, and will come out of this a better man than he was before.
“He’s got an opportunity to become the next Ray Lewis and not the next Ray Rice,” attorney Patrick G. Patel said in an exclusive interview with SNY late Sunday night. “There’s two guys who went in two different directions. I told DeAndre that. And he seems very focused. He’s scared straight. I can say that.”
The 22-year-old Baker has a long way to go, of course, before anyone sees whether he can reclaim his NFL career as Lewis once did after being accused of murder, or if his career will end the way Rice’s did after he was arrested for domestic assault. First, Baker has to deal with the four counts of armed robbery and four counts of aggravated assault that he was charged with in Broward County, Fla., after an incident on Wednesday night.
“There was no robbery,” Patel said. “Nothing at all. He’s absolutely taking that position. And I’m confident the state is going to look at all the facts and realize it’s absurd that a kid making $2 million a year is going to steal a fake watch.”
As for why the alleged victims would lie about being robbed by Baker, Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar and a third, unidentified man in a red mask, Patel said, “Someone should look into the record of the four individuals. It’s longer than a football field.”
“The situation is simple: Dre was the first-round draft choice at the party,” Patel said. “There were no other first-round draft picks. Dunbar is an NFL athlete too. These two guys were the marks.”
Maybe his client has been scared straight.
If the alleged victims are criminals, he doesn’t need to be around them anyway.
We will see how it all works out.
