Eagles young cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu has a trial in May involving a burglary charge. He got some good news yesterday when his brother was found not guilty in the same case.
This case is 2 1/2 years old and involves the theft of an XBox.
Evidence came out in the case, that the person who was accusing them wanted the case dropped. The accuser said that this was nothing but a misunderstanding.
Checkout this paragraph in one of the Wisconsin papers.
"In the second day of testimony at the trial of Ikegwuonu, 22, jurors heard Safyian Baba testify that a few days after the break-in at his townhouse, he spoke with his own roommate and with Ikegwuonu’s roommate, who was a friend. Ikegwuonu’s roommate then drove Baba to the DeKalb County state’s attorney’s office to drop the charges, he said. He testified he also spoke to someone in the office over the phone and submitted a letter two weeks later describing the incident as a “misunderstanding.”
My question is why is the court taking all this time up with this case. This type of nonsense happens in college all the time and it involved people who knew each other and were friends.
I'm all for putting criminals behind bars, but I don't think we should crowd up the courts with nonsense like this. This joke of a case probably cost this kid money.
