Robinson Doing Some Time

[Packnut]

ST. PETER, Minn. -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson will have to serve 90 days in jail for fleeing police last August, a prosecutor said.



Robinson


Robinson was sentenced in Nicollet County Court on Tuesday for leading officers on a high-speed chase from St. Peter to Mankato during Vikings training camp. Robinson was a Viking in 2005.

Assistant County Attorney Paul Tanis said Robinson will be on probation for three years. He'll also have to do 80 hours of community service and pay a $1,500 fine.

Robinson spent the 2001-04 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

Tanis said Robinson is to report to the county jail by March 1, although he can arrange to serve the 90-day sentence in Wisconsin if he chooses to do so.

Robinson can also serve the sentence at the same time he serves 90 days for violating his probation in a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.

Robinson showed remorse in court Tuesday -- saying he's been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and trying to avoid alcohol.

Time

6 months in jail? Yeah, he'll be ready for this season.

Am I missing something? 90days is 3 months.

Time

Am I missing something? 90days is 3 months.

He got 90 days also for violating probation. I'm no legal expert but I assume he has to serve both sentences?

Depends on the type of sentence:

concurrent sentence n. when a criminal defendant is convicted of two or more crimes, a judge sentences him/her to a certain period of time for each crime. Then out of compassion, leniency, plea bargaining, or the fact that the several crimes are interrelated, the judge will rule that the sentences may all be served at the same time, with the longest period controlling.

I guess I take this as meaning concurrent time served.

I did'nt think a judge in 1 state could alter a sentence imposed on a judge from another state. Oh well, either way ANY time in jail is gonna suck. On the other hand, he can use the time to work out if the jail he goes to has a weight room.

Trying to avoid alcohol? If drinking costs you 10 million dollars you might want to go ahead and move to the doing stage.

It is a horrible beast - alcohol. Trying to quit is not easy.

It has cost me my marriage. My home. My job. My friends.


I am just going to give it one more chance - I still have my car!

if they give him one day off for every good day served (as some states do) he could possibly be out in 45 days.

not that tt and m3 are twiddling their thumbs or anything waiting for him....
