he got away with murder, he is a thug and will always be a thug..!!! They say everything in sports is forgiven of winners, from Kobe Bryant and Ben Roethlisberger all the way back to Ty Cobb. But the story of the halo that has come to rest upon the head of Ray Lewis is more than that. The man defies explanation and logic. In June 2000 Fulton County Superior Court Judge Alice D. Bonner approved a deal allowing Lewis to avoid murder charges and jail time by pleading guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice. Lewis was sentenced to 12 months’ probation, the maximum sentence for a first-time offender. As part of his sentence he agreed to testify against two co-defendants. They didnt just lock him up for nothing, and The average "joe" would have not had the chance for a "deal". To this day, no one has served time for the stabbing deaths of 24-year-old Richard Lollar and 21-year-old Jacinth Baker.. He should have been proscuted!!! Anyone else would have..This calls for question. I feel this is why he is humble, he knows he was lucky!! Once again, the police did their job locking him up, but the Judge, as do most, slapped him on the rist. Why is this man praised as a legend? Why was a deal made? was the Judge paid off? These are questions that should be answered. And Baltimore loves him. He was locked up with a murder charge people. Is this a role model?

Ray Lewis has always been a hero and a source of motivation and inspiration for me at times when I have struggled. A man rocked by the toughest of times, shows us how hardship in life molds our character and the greatest of men have felt the stinging of life's worst pain. Ray Lewis is a stunning example of how to walk your path in truth and light. Such a great book, with so many great lessons. Ray, wish you and your family balance, wholeness, and joy always.
