According to the police report, Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones were arrested after 2 a.m. when police spotted their car parked in a closed public park. Both were charged with possession of marijuana. Jones had a gun in his lap. A second gun, determined to be stolen, was found under Robinson's seat.

(Not) shockingly, the local DA will not prosecute..."I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning," [url=http://www.knoe.com/content/news/Charges-against-University-of-Alabama-football-players-dropped-383654561.html][/url]

He was probably wearing the elephant costume at the press conference.

Anyone here keep a little mary J and stolen weapons on them in public parks after 2AM? Perhaps they were setting up a lemonade stand?


Seems likely!

So, carrying a stolen gun is okay as long as you sweat while you are growing up? What ridiculous statement.

Wow. He didn't even try to lie and say it was about lack of evidence or some other reason not to prosecute.

He directly stated he's not prosecuting because they play football and he doesn't want to ruin their lives. In other words if they worked at McDonald's and didn't play college football they would be charged.

Sounds like the D.A. is prioritizing getting re-elected over justice.

The old "not-in-the-air-conditioning" defense. Well done, DA, well done.

I really don't give a **** about the weed. If that was all this was about, I wouldn't even disagree.

A stolen gun though? This isn't the last run-in these two will have with the cops. Hopefully the next time will be before they actually hurt someone.

He bought the gun a year ago and cooperated with the authorities and turned over the person who sold it to him. Private gun sales aren't tracked and he was under no legal requirement to register the firearm so they couldn't prove whether he knew it was stolen.

That's a DA who is SEC ready.

Hhmm, okay, I guess. Would have been more helpful had the DA said that instead of the air conditioning and sweating thing.

"Improper" search per @abyingtontd

Shouldn't the NCAA consider this an improper benefit?

I mean, if they weren't bama football players they would have been prosecuted right?

Stop being obtuse, warden.

Any politician who goes after a Bama football player is likely gifting his elected office to someone else. Yes, the inbreds in Alabama are that fanatical about football.

Interesting theory. Only problem with it is that Monroe is in Louisiana, not Alabama and for this to work he would be far better served by fully prosecuting Robinson as it would potentially hurt Bama in their game vs LSU. Of course it might even help serve notice to local players about what happens if they leave the state to play football.

The information about how Cam aquired the gun has been around awhile and it's long been speculated that the charges would be dropped or reduced.

The DA can "emphasize" whatever he wants in his statement, which was poorly written. Apparently there was an illegal search and seizure by the local police, or at least that is the story coming from the defense attorney. If true, I can see why the DA wouldn't want to include that in his statement.

If it's true that he had no reason to know the gun was stolen, then I'm glad charges were dropped

That DA should be forced to resign based on the statement alone.

Here are the words DA's use when the cops messed up.

"Considering all of the circumstances surrounding this case, we do not have a high degree of confidence in being to prevail in court. Thank you very much and I cannot address this case any further."

Illegal search? BS. They were in a closed city park at 2:00 am. Plenty of reasonable suspicion. Illegal search is just CYA.

He didn't say anything about Bama. Cam is from Monroe LA. Maybe the DA thinks it's smart to take care of Monroe football players.
