I never thought I would say this, but the DA has it right on the money!

[X-Era]

He basically said exactly what Ive been saying:

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hhA8H0CtKLA_AQ0OV0F-rDuPOoewD91E28MG0

The prosecutor said he does not fault Lynch for exercising his right to stay silent, but acknowledged that his office and the Buffalo police could have used the nearly three weeks spent on the headline-grabbing Lynch case on more serious crimes.
"This, at its worst, is a vehicle and traffic misdemeanor. In the hierarchy of criminal conduct, this is certainly in the bottom third," he said.

Just that easy.

This one is over, and even the DA admits its a pretty petty crime.

Now, to be fair, HE chose to use the media, not Lynch. I will even say that him working the media didnt accomplish anything, it was only when the Bills brass were brought in that this got fixed. So why do it then?

"I think that the way this will be resolved will be in line with the way most of these cases are resolved and probably very much in line with the way it might have been resolved had all of this come together sooner," he said.

if it was really such a strain on his department, he shouldn't have pursued it. Marshawn did nothing wrong in keeping his mouth shut.

Marshawn did nothing wrong, period!

Lynch's lawyer had a sit down with the DA the Monday after it happened. I'm sure he asked for the charges to be reduced to a traffic violation, which Clark rejected. Yet 3 weeks later when the DA couldn't find any evidence that Lynch was drunk or knew he hit the victim and ran, he offers the deal? If anyone's to blame, it's Clark.

So the DA was right because he agreed with you?

it's a high profile case. It's not his fault. He would've been accused of favoring famous people had he not pursued it. Media would've hung him had he looked the other way.

They're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't.

Gosh, to listen to Bill fans one can easily see why the Pat fans find no fault in the cheating the Pats who were accused, found guiltyand later fined for Cheating. Maybe they should just change the law in Buffalo to "Buffalo Bill drivers under the influence, have the right of way, and do not need to stop at the scene of an accident for fear of being arrested"! Gotta love the irony in Bill fans attitude about their players doing no wrong, while everyone elses players are guilty as hell and are scum of the earth.

Where is there any proof that Lynch was under the influence or knew he hit the woman (and no, "he had to be drunk if he hit her" isn't a valid answer)? So far there is zero evidence of either, if not evidence to the contrary. Unless/until I see proof that he was drunk, or that he knew he hit her and ran, I won't send him down the river.

What the DA is saying is

1. it is a minor crime
2. Marshawn had the right to remain silent
3. He is going to be guilty anyway
4. Why the F*** did Lynch waste all of our time

It got resolved when the media made everyone aware that the Bills brass was now involved.

Marshawn did nothing wrong in keeping his mouth shut.

What he did wrong was leave the scene of an accident. He was probably drunk so he didn't stop.
