Sharper made not see freedom again for a very long time. Too many charges in too many states.

Yeah, desperate people do desperate things. Sharper's smart and charismatic enough to pull it off.....for awhile.
When I said that I doubt he'll be free again for a long time, I was thinking about him facing charges in five states and the length of time it would take to process each one. Because everyone assumes that he is guilty he's become the fallen NFL star that people love to hate. A local prosecutor or judge would face a serious public backlash if he let him go free pre-trial.
This guy has completely ruined his life.
Oh, Pandora's box is way beyond open now. My son was asking why he wouldn't get bail, and explained that even after he went through the system and got bail in one state he wouldn't get released, he'd get extradited to the next one in line - right? Some actual US citizens may be able to clear this up. Regardless, his opportunity to join John Mcafee in Belize or Rodman just north of you is gone.
It can get competitive between jurisdictions, but States, unless under enormous public pressure, generally like to coordinate because the alternative is shipping him back and forth and that gives his lawyers chances to delay. To get the cases expedited (such as its possible) its better to have it go one at a time.
Ok, that's what I thought - so he goes through the process in one state, then gets hauled off to the next state, rinse, wash, repeat. No shipping back and forth, but just because he makes bail in one jurisdiction does not mean he'll be out on the streets until trial.
Not drawing the attention level the Hernandez case is, but looks like it might go on about at long.

The article from this LINK tells the story and might make you scratch your head.
Why?
How could a man that portrayed himself as such a fine gentleman be such a repeated sexual stalker? The manner in which he enacted these accused crimes is so bizarre. Placed him at such high risk of being accused....as he eventually was; as a result throwing away his life.
This case shocks and puzzles me. This is a crazy world we live in but this sort of thing. It's just too much.
There's more here regarding the specifics of the case:

Sharper has now been indicted with two others on rape charges in New Orleans. Could get life, if convicted.
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...e-charges.html
Charges now pending in three states; California, Arizona and Louisiana.
What an utterly disgusting excuse of a human being.
I wonder if folks at 1265 had a bad feeling about him or if he was such an effective sociopath that it was totally under the radar?
Who would have thought Sharper was friends with Bill Cosby.
Strange world.
And to think he used to intro himself on game day as "Darren, ain't nobody Shaper"! What a tool.
Indeed. Those tools ain't cheap. Elitist!

State and federal charges. He's officially in it deep now.
He was in Green Bay for 8 years, they re-signed him to a big contract and only released him when TT got to town and asked him to take a pay cut to clean up Sherman's salary cap mess. They also had him back in town for a workout after he was finished with New Orleans.
No, I'd say they had no idea.
