I’m surprised the MLBPA doesn’t insist that the Orioles pay his legal fees.
Slopeboy
Since it’s a personal criminal matter and not a baseball related matter that took place in another country, can the MLBPA, legally or really insist, that the O’s pay for his lawyers and court fees?
Karkat
Oh, no, certainly not. That would be terrible. I was just taking a shot at some of the ridiculous fights the MLBPA has been known to put up in spite of what seems reasonable.

No.

Well since he’s restricted from leaving jail, this makes a whole lot of sense.

Had he killed someone with asbestos, Angelos probably could have helped.
Verlander_Will_Save_Us_All
Did you know that asbestos poisoning symptons can take up to 120 years to form? Thank you micselanious Detroit area lawyers!

Good ol’ 3rd world justice. I wonder how much he had to pay the family?
Verlander_Will_Save_Us_All
Why would he pay the family? I’m not trying to call you out, I’m just unfamilliar with 3rd world justice.

In some parts of the world you pay off your crimes. BTW a little off topic, in some countries your punishment is more severe killing cattle than it to kill another person

Yeah, I much prefer first world justice where, apparently, knowing nothing of the accused, the victim or the crime, you get to assume that merely being charged means he’s guilty and any finding to the contrary must be the result of a bribe.

Not as much as Dante Stallworth had to pay his victim !
Thank God for our criminal justice system

Slip an official some money, slip the family some money and things just go away.

its gonna be like that movie “the last boy scout” where the football player runs the ball and pulls out a gun and shoots every player who tries to tackle him before killing himself in front of everyone. hopefully a-rod will be his target

This reminds me of the Ugeth Urbina thing a few years ago.

Sad that we can’t even think for one second that he’s actually innocent. Just not sure if it’s sad of us for being cynical, or sad that athletes have given themselves this sort of reputation.
*Note that I have no idea what sort of evidence was found against Simon in this case.

Albert Pujols is 40 years old.
