there is no way this incident could have factored in Marshall's suspension that he has served already....1. his attorneys would not allow it to be considered, especially against him2. the league would not basically say "this is your suspension no matter what happens with your March incident"One would have to assume that since these are new charges that it is possible he could be suspended again.Even if the league knew about the incident already, they would not have been able to take it into account when handing down a suspension.
Well then if that is the case then no suspension can be handed to him until he goes to trial and is proven guilty, which will take place after the season. If they were going to suspend him on the speculation, they would have done so with the initial 3 game one they levied on him. So basically he won't miss anytime this season. At least that's what I'm hoping!
But his initial suspension was based solely on pending and/or dropped charges... Doesn't it seem hypocritical to be able to suspend a player when the law has not yet proven a crime was even committed, then to add to those charges when the law does hand down a ruling? In the first case, they're essentially saying the law's decision does not matter, and in the second case, they are saying that the law's decision does matter. I just doesn't seem like they can have it both ways, which is why I don't see any further suspension coming regardless of the outcome.
