^ That's still a hit, butthead.
And, if you knock her out and you're still on your feet -- without having messed up yer mullet or spillt yer Schlitz, just goes to prove you're not only an asshole, but a hard-headed one to boot.
Best case scenario for me: Ray Rice actually paid attention and got something outta all that counseling he agreed to undergo in order to avoid a possible 5 years behind bars.
He had to choose between the counseling program and going to trial; after the arrest and during their follow-up investigation, AC police dropped the initial simple assault charge against Janay Palmer and upped the initial charge of simple assault to aggravated assault against Ray Rice. The case was presented to a grand jury who saw evidence in the form of witness statements and the surveillance video showing Ray Rice knocking her out cold (casinos have video everywhere -- the knock out video evidence wasn't leaked to media) and dragging her outta the elevator. The grand jury indicted Ray Rice for aggravated assault.
I like how instead of facing the music and apologizing to the public by himself, Ray Rice had his wife, his mother, and his daughter beside him. Cheap and transparent display, IMO, but probably something his defense attorney and NFL mentors giddily supported.
Ah well, on with the show... It's no longer a criminal matter and it's the Rices' personal life...let's see if the NFL and the Ravens profit or lose from how this situation was handled when he takes the field again.
