berndogg Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I believe we can make a few reasonable assumptions at this point: 1 -- Marshawn has told his lawyer whatever he knows 2 -- the victim has told the police whatever she knows (which probably isn't much) 3 -- a witness has told the police something If we accept these assumptions as true (the first one being the most important), and seeing how more than three days have passed since the incident, I don't think it's a stretch to conclude Marshawn was not driving. Think about it. If Marshawn was driving, his lawyer is immediately talking to the police about the best and least public way of handling the situation. That scenario doesn't include a dog and pony show of a press conference during which the police say they need to "find" Marshawn to talk to him. My prediction is we'll soon learn Marshawn was not even in the vehicle, or if he was he was asleep or otherwise unaware of what happened. The cops want to find out who was driving, and Marshawn doesn't want to give that person up. It's just a hunch, admittedly, but one based somewhat in logic. We'll see. I'll be the first to own up if I'm wrong. Even if Marshawn was driving why wouldn't he just pay one of his friends a bunch of money to take the charge. I'm sure it won't end up with jail time, so he could pay a guy enough that the community service/probation will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know and what you just suggested has never and would never occur to him? THAT just might be why he wouldn't pay someone to take the fall?

If he was a good guy and he was driving he wouldn't have left the scene, he would've stayed and made sure the person that he hit was ok. (In the hypothectical world where he definitely was the driver)He's already proven he cares more about not getting caught than taking responsibility, so paying someone to take the fall would definitely crooss his mind.

How the hell do you KNOW what actually happened? he may be protecting someone ELSE. "..He's already proven he cares more about not getting caught than taking responsibility".. what's the use.

I'm sure it won't end up with jail time, so he could pay a guy enough that the community service/probation will be worth it. Second post: If he was a good guy and he was driving he wouldn't have left the scene, he would've stayed and made sure the person that he hit was ok. (In the hypothectical world where he definitely was the driver)He's already proven he cares more about not getting caught than taking responsibility, so paying someone to take the fall would definitely crooss his mind. I imply in both that I am speculating (as all of us are). All I'm saying is the two possibilities are that either he was driving or he wasn't. If he wasn't, then he won't be in any trouble. If he was, he should pay someone off and not get in trouble. I elaborate by explaining why IF he was driving he wouldn't have a problem paying someone off to counter your argument about why he would have a problem doing that IF he was driving. I'm not jumping to conclusions, just speculating, which is all anyone is doing at this point, so I don't think its the worst thing in the world.

I'll be the first to own up if I'm wrong. All excellent, well-considered logic, eball. The first thought that crossed my mind was that Marshawn was not behind the wheel, and I will throw this out here once again, purely for speculation... Link Since the BPD was willingly complicit in covering up for the reckless driving escapades of Mayor Brown's son last year, it's not at all unbelievable they would protect ML's kid brother. Now having thrown that smelly turd on the table - again, all purely conjecture - I should also point out the ML is not the best driver, and had at least one minor 'fender-bender' last winter involving that same Porsche Cayenne and a neighbor's parked car. At the time, I chalked it up to a lack of winter-driving skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Marshawn's screwed. If he didn't come out right away and say he wasn't in the car, he obviously was, and we're going to be Lynchless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Should we call the BPD's anonymous tip line? "Pssst - I know where Lynch is.
