He didn't kill no mother fuckin' lion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1yzeo_tv-funhouse-ray-lewis_fun

 

First thing I think of whenever I hear about Ray Lewis.

If you want to believe Ray Lewis is guilty of murder, it's your prerogative. Or, you can do some research.

 

He was an accessory to a double homicide.
I know all I need to know about him.

 

What is the consensus on Lewis's involvement in those murders? It's been a few years, and the stories on Google are pretty dry and cautious. Essentially, it seems like his two buddies killed the guys, i.e. actually wielded the knife/knives, that Lewis probably participated in some sort of brawl and subsequent cover-up?

Does anyone actually think Lewis himself wielded a knife?

 

Get off the cross, Bernstein. Jeez.

 

No.

And still no convictions for the murders.

 

No, I don't think he wielded a knife. But I'm sure he knows who did.

The limo driver testified that Lewis told everybody in his group to keep their mouths shut about what happened. The clothes he was wearing that night were never recovered (if I remember correctly). And he paid out-of-court settlements to the victims' families.

 

What do you mean "still"? There never will be convictions for those murders, for the same reason that there will never be convictions for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Casey Anthony's daughter: the already tried the guilty parties, failed to get convictions, and now are barred by that pesky double jeopardy clause from trying them again.

 

Yeah, supposedly it was a white suit that was splattered with blood and got thrown in a dumpster.

 

I've always assumed he said just enough to meet the terms of his plea deal on obstruction of justice charges, but never told "the whole truth and nothing but the truth" about what he saw or knows about those murders.
