That's true. I believe armed robbery is worth 10 tomahawks on your helmet in tally.

What crimes were those?

"Police say Jackson went to the victim's home to hang out and smoke marijuana. Jackson came inside without knocking, introduced two other men and left."
"Police say Jackson knew the person who lived at the apartment."
"He's what under the law we would call principle 2, and a principal 2 and offense is just as guilty as if you had committed it yourself,”

​So because he knew the guys that committed the crime he got accused of the same crime all though he was't carrying a weapon and didn't rob anybody. Is that basically what happened? Sounds like a jury, presented with all the facts, didn't think Jackson knew the real criminals intended to rob his friend.

From another poster on a different board: JC's own attorney admitted that Jackson took the two robbers to the house, led them in, walked back out and basically acted as a lookout and even came back into the house at one point to tell them to hurry.

His defense was that a crime was going to occur with or without his participation.

The prosecution certainly could have gotten a verdict if they had chosen lesser charges. Jackson refused to roll over on his friends and the prosecutor reacted by going with the toughest charges he could levy.

If he had been charged with aiding and abetting or similar lesser charges he certainly would have been convicted. His own lawyer basically admitted that he participated in the robbery, but did not actually commit the robbery.

This seems to be consistent with the story. But it might not be correct.

I think Mac has done well enough this year to not require the GCMB permission on this. I doubt we see him back though

We must remember, acquitted doesn't mean he wasn't guilty. There was enough smoke to indicate this guy was starting a fire. Who needs it?

America believes in second chances! Look at Michael Vick, he personally drowned multiple dogs (with his hands) and is now the beloved starting QB for the Steelers. Why not JC Jackson?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He can have a fourth chance at any school that will take him, probably Auburn or Looovulle.

I'm pretty sure every championship we ever won had a few future felons on it. He was starting ahead of Tabor before he was kicked off, if Mac thinks he deserves a second chance then by all means so do I. Winning trumps everything except rape and stealing crab legs, **** that guy.

GTFO. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

Anyone who's been to the Glades area knows most of these kids grow up with 2 strikes. Most kids out of that area are a crap shoot to begin with

So that means we should just overlook his behavior?

So, you are seriously taking the position that shoplifting is worse than burglary and armed robbery?

Mac didn't suspend him, he kicked him off the team and the university expelled him. It's not up to Mac anyway at this point.

Fvkk him. He is gone. Long gone. There is a reason that Huntley Johnson didn't show up. The decision was made long ago.

I heard the robber position on defense is opening up for 2016..........

Amusing.

Do you seriously think I was being serious?

I'm saying we tend to overlook the behavior of starters.

Actually I'm not saying anything. I don't really care.

It was just an observation. You're going to have tons of character issues if you recruit the Glades heavily. Some will shape up with discipline and structure, and some won't.

If Mac thinks he deserves another chance, that's up to him. If I remember correctly, the decision to dismiss JC came down from above Mac, or at least that was insinuated. So there is a chance that Mac will take him back. If recruiting goes well at DB and WR, that could influence as well.

Naah. Ask law which two sec teams have the most wins over the past two seasons.

Who AR? Bammer and LSU I'd guess off the top of my head. I won't say the name of the other team that comes to mind.

So according to TOS Jackson got shot in HS.
