Delone Carter Rushes For No Gain, Legally-Speaking

Remember Delone Carter? He was going to be our best running back and arguably best offensive player this season until he went all "that's one shot, son!" He was suspended from school, dropped from the football depth chart, placed in "we don't talk about players who aren't on the team" status and left in limbo. The word was that Carter had worked out some kind of deal that would allow him to re-enroll at SU in the Fall, and therefore, re-join the team in time for the season to start. It wasn't ideal, but it was good enough.
The latest news, however, is less than promising. Carter was supposed to appear in court Wednesday to hear a resolution to his case but since that resolution was not to be, he didn't show.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Joseph Coolican responded that the prosecution’s position is that Carter can plead guilty as charged or stand trial.
Raus said no to a guilty plea and Judge Langston McKinney then agreed to give the lawyers some more time to try and reach a resolution.
Oh dear. That doesn't sound like the cut-and-dry handshake deal we heard a few months ago.
Carter's lawyer George Raus said that Delone is working out in "Parts Unknown" to prepare for football and still hopes to play for the Orange come September. We shall see.

Okay, got to ask
What sort of resolution is the prosecutor after at this point. Obviously it is for more than the whole plead guilty to misdemeanor, pay a fine, community service, back on team in fall thing or else it would of happened already, right?
Go Orange(men)!
Raus is looking for a plea bargain.
The DA won’t deal it down any further.
this is bs
my brother, an SU student, got in a fight at school with two weeks left (allegedly) because the kid shoved one of his female friends to the ground and he hit the kid way more than once. Even broke his own hand doing it. You know what happened to him? Nothing. Both parties just walked away. Why? because my brother was not a star football player. DC3 is getting prosicuted to the full extent of the law so lets remember that the next time we say athletes get special treatment.
Fights happen all the time at SU. Guys get into scraps at house parties (ask cuserugby about this haha) people in the alley outside chucks, or in a frat house (which usually turns into 10 on 1). Someone wins, someone loses, everyone walks away with a good story.
Perhaps
someone is trying to propel their own career with a high-profile outcome here.

Yup
When in doubt, follow the money.

Public Safety
Your brother and the other belligerent probably got away with their fisticuffs because Public Safety or the SPD weren’t called and there was no official report. Once Public Safety gets involved, the University’s judicial board gets involved and then you end up like Devo.
Further, I happen to know that there are multiple Syracuse alumni serving as Syracuse ADAs so this isn’t an anti-University thing either. This is criminal justice taking its course.
Dr. Gross can’t be pleased.
Orange you glad it's not football season?
9 time out of 10
when public safety is called, they tell everyone to go home. Off campus the cops threaten to beat you up and send you on your merry way. Ive been to enough parties on the far side of Clarendon to know that.
yeah - had dps folks outside chucks tell us over the bullhorn to pack it up and go home a couple times
when a shoving match threatened to get to the ‘fisticuffs’ [i still cant use that word without chuckling] stage.
So, so stupid
a possible NFL future and more money than a normal person will see in a lifetime thrown away because of a momentary lapse of reason. Just goes to show how these guys need to be smart every second of every damn day.

Homer: Explain how!

Homer: Woo-hoo!
