Will Henry be suspended?
Receiver's attorneys planning plea agreements
BY MARK CURNUTTE | MCURNUTTE@ENQUIRER.COM
Chris Henry faces two upcoming legal hearings that could affect whether he faces another NFL suspension.
The Bengals wide receiver, who tied for the team lead with nine touchdown receptions, has two cases pending, but prosecutors in both said Henry's attorneys are aiming to keep him on the field with plea agreements.
A conference is scheduled Jan. 25 in a Northern Kentucky court to update a case stemming from the last of Henry's four arrests. He pleaded not guilty June 15 to charges accusing him of providing alcohol to three underage females.
Kenton County assistant attorney Kenneth Easterling doubts that an agreement will be reached by then.
"We are still negotiating," Easterling told the Associated Press.
On Feb. 15, Henry has a court date in Clermont County on charges of drunken driving and speeding. Prosecutors expect an agreement that would avoid a trial.
"We expect there will probably be a plea; that's all I can tell you," Clermont County prosecutor Don White told the AP. "It's a difficult case from the prosecution's point of view."
Henry was arrested in June by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. A trooper said Henry registered .092 on a blood-alcohol test. The legal limit in Ohio is .08.
A DUI conviction probably would bring another suspension from the league. Prosecutors face a challenge proving the charge. They agreed in November the machine used for the breath test wasn't properly calibrated, and a judge dismissed the results.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is concerned about player misconduct off the field. He called Bengals president Mike Brown toward the end of 2006 and offered to help curb the team's spate of problems. Eight Bengals players were arrested in 2006.

In other words, no WR in this stat set has amounted to a hill of beans over the past two decades (post-Duper).
