Default Re: Name sports figures who have been convicted and if they came back

Heatley was also seriously injured himself as a result of the crash and spent most of 03-04 rehabbing.

The death in that case was of his teammate Dan Snyder. Sad story.

Not to be callous, but that story isn't nearly as sad as the woman being killed by Little. A couple of buddies getting drunk and driving and one of them dying is nowhere near as tragic as taking out an innocent bystander.

Heatley wasn't drunk. If he was, that would have been prison + suspension 100% of the time, and Snyder's family would have never ever stood by him. Obv. speeding is not even near the same level of crime as drunk driving, regardless of the outcome.

If the US actually had roads where there were no speed limits, accidents like Heatley's 85 in a 40 would happen much much less. Highway speed limits encourage non-highway speeding.

Heatley wasn't legally drunk but he had been drinking.

Barry Bonds the grand jury convicted him after he admitted to using the cream and the clear. It's a fact.
