Jeremy Hill was on probation at the time that he blind side punched a guy. He was given community service for his second crime despite violating his probation terms. Do you think most people who violate their probation terms end up with community service?


Hill wound up with two more yrs of probabtion. His first offense was non-violent, non-drug, non-weapon, and borderline juvenile age. But the big difference here is that JH went through the courts both times and came out the other side with dire consequences hanging over him. He missed an entire year of football and all summer workouts will trying his cases. His deals were bargained with the Judge.

These guys were spit out by the law enforcement officials and they learned nothing from the experience except that high powered people will get you out of anything in their program...

Pathetic homer spin, dude. Hill was convicted of a sexual crime against a 14 year old girl. He then violated his probation and committed a violent crime. What exactly did he learn from the court system after his first conviction? All of these players deals were bargained with officials.

If you violate your probation, you are going to jail..... (a year later) Oh no! You violated your probation! Time for more probation!

Yeah, Jeremy Hill really had to face consequences.

They are learning about the dangers and consequences of drug use as they have been in Bradford drug rehab for over a month now. They are learning about gun safety and gun laws by attending gun safety classes and they are learning about law enforcement by serving over 20 hours of community service while riding with the local police on their night shift patrol duty. That's just what these guys have logged over the last 5 weeks....who knows if they'll be allowed back on the team or what the hell Saban has in store for them if they do come back?
