L.T. has the money, if he really needed to get laid that bad, fly out to Nevada to the Mustang Ranch and do it legally and not with an illegal teenage prostitute. Another dumb ass football player doing something completely stupid. "Numba 72....AH **** 27!!" Edited March 22, 2011 by Jerry Jabber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That's bad. He got off waaaaayyyyyy to easy, come on LT, your above this. He is? Since when? Although LT is a dirtbag, I can't see putting him in prison for this. There was a pimp involved who is the person that should be doing the long term in prison.

"Numba 72....AH **** 27!!" youtube.com/watch?v=BerJdS2VJhA Just goes to show you, if you got the money, you can by your way out of jail (O.J. & Robert Blake were able to do that). I remember Bob Nelson's football routine, that was funny as hell! Thanks for posting it! He is? Since when? Although LT is a dirtbag, I can't see putting him in prison for this. There was a pimp involved who is the person that should be doing the long term in prison. Both LT & the pimp are at fault and should both be charged. LT shouldn't have looked for an illegal prostitute. Second, the girl was under age, L.T. didn't even bother to think "This girl looks way too young"?, he should have said "hell no", but he was too stupid/horny and went through with it anyways. He's a dumb ass and got off easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're saying O.J. and Robert Blake didn't buy their ways out of their murder trials? So any John/Jane would have received the same sentence as those two?

He's a dumb ass and got off easy! you are right LT should have been charged with the soliciting an illegal prostitute, but I think the pimp is the bigger problem in this case and deserves stricter punishments. If it came out that LT was specifically looking for an underage hooker, then I think he should have received the same punishments as the pimp.

BuffaloBill Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sad legacy .... he was a great player that literally changed the game. He is a wreck on the personal side. I suppose money and fame can help play to the underlying weaknesses that lead to his type of situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're saying O.J. and Robert Blake didn't buy their ways out of their murder trials? So any John/Jane would have received the same sentence as those two? Yes. Neither "bought their ways out of their murder trials". Both were tried and aquitted. Anyway, let's take OJ first. You may have missed it, but after 9 months of highly technical testimony form dozens of witnesses, the jury deliberated only 4 hours before aquiting him. It was widely and accurately described as the most infamous and blatant case of jury nullification (look that one up) in US legal history. In other words, that jury was in such a hurry to aquit OJ (from the beginning) that he could have had the same result with the Public Defender. As for Blake, the murder weapon didn't match his gun. The jury wouldn't convict. He's so rich , he still owes his lwayers $3 million. As for LT being so rich he could afford a $300 dollar hooker AND a lawyer is pretty silly--go back and reread that one. Look, he got a deal that is given 10,000 times a day all over the country. Obvioulsy the DA knew he couldn't convince a jury that LT knew the girl was one or two years underage so he did what every DA does on every such case--he offered a plea deal on the only charge he could prove--misdemeanor charges of solicitation. He also got a sex opffender rap--which is far worse than a simple solicitation. It is much more likely that if he wasn't a famous athlete, he would have gotten a slap on the wrist for this crime which none of us would ever have known about. But please expand on your "money buys your way out of convictions" theory. Are you suggesting the DA/judge/jury were bribed? Or that LT's super high priced lawyer was so mesmerizing with his skillful use of the balck art of jurisprudence that he put a spell on the DA--compelling him to offer LT a lesser charge? Tell us.

Yet in this case, LT is reported to be broke so the cash he had was his celebrity status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 LT isn't a bad guy. He wanted a hooker. So what. So did Eliot Spitzer... LT bugs a lot of the Drug Prohibitionists who hate him for succeeding while coke using... When any of you are as good in your profession as LT was in his, then I'll listen to you and your "judgments..." Here's hoping LT runs for something like governor on the Libertarian Ticket!

Ohterwise are you suggesting bribery? It's fame/celebrity, "not money", that gets these guys off. Or it's just that the case is no good (as in LT's felony charge).

Then explain the findings of the civil suit brought against O.J.? Also on Mike Ox's point of Celebrity status, my ex-girlfriend's cousin was 15 years old at the time when she had conseual sex with her next door neighbor (who was in his late 30's at the time), the only reason anyone found out they had sex got pregnant. Do you think that guy got probation....NO!!!! His ass went to jail for statutory rape (even though it was consenual). And what's the difference between that guy and Lawerence Taylor.....?

KD in CA Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Then explain the findings of the civil suit brought against O.J.? You mean besides media driven vengeance? You do understand that a criminal trial and a civil trial are two completely different things with two completely different standards of innocence or guilt, right? Also on Mike Ox's point of Celebrity status, my ex-girlfriend's cousin was 15 years old at the time when she had conseual sex with her next door neighbor (who was in his late 30's at the time), the only reason anyone found out they had sex got pregnant. Do you think that guy got probation....NO!!!! His ass went to jail for statutory rape (even though it was consenual). And what's the difference between that guy and Lawerence Taylor.....? A next door neighbor certainly knows how old the girl is; a john normally doesn't know a prostitute personally (or ask her age). Also, fair or not, the legal system is much less likely to look at a prostitute as a 'victim' compared to the sweet girl next door. Of course money and power buy influence in the courthouse, but that doesn't seem to fit in these examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "girl next door" is a really bad analogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 KD beat me to it. Civil verdict was payback--and a correct interpretation of the evidence. The "girl next door" is a really bad analogy. I disagree with this part. If you sleep with your underage neighbor, you are likely going to know that she is underage. Hence an admission of guilt should follow. If you do not know the age of your neighbor, chances are you know if she still attends high school, which should be a big "jailbait" sign. That said, KD is right that the underage prostitute is less likely to be seen as the victim, as most johns probably do not card a hooker and the fact that the pimp probably is one more at fault in this situation.
