Robinson sentenced to 90 days in jail for repeat DUI

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

To me, that sounds like he could serve his sentence after the season. Am I wrong?

Yea, I think so, 90 days before March 1st.

If he has to serve 90 days before March 1st, doesn't that mean he must miss at least a mouth?

only is some freak thing happens and we make the playoffs. he might have to miss the last game of the season, or maybe do some time over the bye week

Not defending him by any means, but I don't think he got particulary special treatment here. It's pretty hard to go to jail for that - I've heard of guys with 7, 8 convictions who are still out walking around. Truth is, if we started putting these guys in jail, we'd be building new ones in a hurry.

Now, I'm not familiar with the original infraction. 5yr sentence - a 5yr jail sentence? How the heck did he get that - I didn't think he hurt anyone. That's pretty harsh for a simple DIU.

Anyways, this is a (possibly short term) win for the Pack. Except the conviction will now allow the NFL to assess a penalty, which should be the 1yr suspension. I think they could pretty much do that any time now.

Again, I saw some of the horror stories posted on the original KR signing thread, and I don't wish to re-hash what suitable punishment would be. I'm merely stating that the LAW doesn't generally assess penalties of that magnitude.

[quote = "Green Bowl Packer"]No you are not. The guys on WTMJ confirmed it. Just has to start the 90 days by March 1st. [/quote]

Yup has to start in March.

This is actually quite common because they do know that people have to work. So basically if he was still in Seattle and was a computer analyst he would serve it in a workhouse type place that let him out during the day up to 12 hours to go too and from work.

But if it's 90 days before March 1st, that would be December, January and February, wouldn't it? And December is our final month of games....

Florio at PFT has it as 90 days served before Mar 1, but he is linking to the JSOnline site story, which is the same AP story in this thread. Few details.

Unlike TMJ, Florio is a lawyer and often has a good bead on things. Just like TMJ, Florio has been wrong on legal details before.

Its too early to tell. It will be tough to convince the judge that he serve the time here, I would imagine.

I hope he straightens himself out before someone gets hurt.

[Tony Oday]

he has to start before the date and also almost every state gives you one day served for every two behind the bars so he will only have 2 months in jail.

Ok, but what about my other question - what the heck did he do to get a 5 year sentence???

It could be tight if the Packers play in the Super Bowl.

True dat, Max

As previous poster pointed out the treatment wasn't so special, perhaps.

From my profession I came to know someone walking around with 11 DUI's in Wisconsin and other states.

He'd drive home from a long night of drinking at about 5 mph. Cops would walk up to him and pull him over.

His liver gave out before he could serve his final adjudicated sentence and he left three kids w/o a dad.

That kind of alcoholism is sad.

KR is unlikely to make it to March w/o more problems imho.

Ok, but what about my other question - what the heck did he do to get a 5 year sentence???

From the article:

Robinson appeared in Municipal Court in this Seattle suburb, where he pleaded guilty last year to drunken driving.

At the time, he was given a five-year sentence that was suspended on condition that he not drink or have any other law violations.

[Guiness]

Was the 5 years a jail sentence??? You don't get 5 years in the clink for a DUI.

Koren ought to get down on his knees and thank God for this outcome. He really has been given a third and fourth chance to make something of himself as a person and as a player.

I am critical of TT, but I do credit him here in giving Koren the opportunity to redeem himself personally and professionally.

Hopefully, Koren will be the rare athlete to actually beat his addiction and fly straight and level. Brett did it and so can Koren.

OK, thanks guys for helping answer this.....
