Prosecution declined on all charges facing Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones

[the spellcheck on AL.com is atrocious .. take a shot for every misspelled word below]

The legal situation facing two Alabama football players ended Monday.

The district attorney in Monroe, La., decided not to pursue prosecution of Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones, AL.com confirmed.

The district attorney did not find sufficiant evidence to prosectute, according to the county clerk's office. A local television reporter tweeted the documents related to the case.

DA declines to prosecute Bama players Cam Robinson & Hootie Jones due to insufficient evidence @KNOE8 @SportsCenter

Robinson faced felony charges from the May 17 arrest in a public park in Monroe. He was charged with possession of a stolen gun and possession of marijuana.

They/we dodged a bullet on this one. It's obvious there were some back door negotiations going on. How do you not have evidence when you find them with weed and the guns? The charge wasn't theft of the gun, it was possession of a gun that was stolen.

Both players will still face some internal discipline but it won't be reported.

Boom. Awesome

Completely agree with you here. Talk about a couple of lucky bastards. Cochran is going to nail these two to the wall.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Don't know too many self-respecting Bama fans who wouldn't be happy with such a decision. But I wonder if the delay recently granted played a part in the latest reversal? Good for the guys even though conspiracies will run rampant.

I received this from a buddy, and he said Saban had it drafted up and sent out to the DA in Louisiana. PDF was too big, so sorry for the crappy copy and paste job.

Thank you for sharing this. Good to see they are being held accountable for their actions and take care of themselves, and good that they were given a chance to redeem themselves.

Missed opportunity to let the team vote on if they could play this season . Would have been an epic troll job.

The butthurt begins .. Granted, if it was Auburn or something, we'd be bitching too probably ..

Twitter torches DA for not prosecuting Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones

 

[OldPlayer]

I think reading what their internal punishment is...is punishment enough.

I think the judge and prosecutors read it and said, "It's worse than the punishment we can give. Case dismissed!"

 

[Tidestalker]

Things always sound worse when the arrest happen... If indeed it was an improper search, that's just too bad

Louisiana has been good to Alabama the last few years! lol

 

[OldPlayer]

This report indicates that the case was dropped because "there wasn't enough evidence to prove who was in possession of the guns and drugs" (reasonable doubt).

DA declines to prosecute Alabama's Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones

 

[bama alum]

REC! REC! REC!

Nothing says it was an improper search. Turns out there were four people in the car (other two not named). Who had possession of the weed? Who had possession of the guns? It's a simple defense that they could not prove who was in possession of any of it.

Watch Louisiana DA's stunning explanation for why he won't prosecute Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones

 

[rueben]

Any other time, if it is not on a person, it is the responsibility of the driver.

 

[rolltide66]

Well, not sure about suspension or ? I remember one of Pat Dye's comments when his QB was to be punished for accepting a private plane ride for a hunting trip... NCAA says he should not be allowed to start the next game... so as Dye said, " I believe that the games always start with a Kick-off; I have told him that he will have to sit until it's our 1st offensive play" someone pointed out that QB's dont play on kick off teams, Dye just allowed that he was following the ruling, nothing he could do. The QB would not be allowed to be on the Kick off teams no matter what.
