Name sports figures who have been convicted and if they came back
I didn't want to derail the Vick thread so here's a new one.
Name a sports figure, what they were accused of, if they were convicted and if they came back to their sport. Rae Carruth was accused and convicted of conspiring to murder his girlfriend. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. So I'm pretty sure he won't be coming back.

Re: Name sports figures who have been convicted and if they came back
Craig MacTavish served a year in prison for a drunk driving sentence in Boston - I believe it was vehicular manslaughter.
He came back and played several more seasons in the NHL with no apparent loss of effectiveness and is now an NHL head coach. Mike Danton was accused of plotting to kill his agent and is now serving time - his NHL career is obviously over.

If you don't think he deserves life in prison, you should probably headbutt your wall until you are unconscious.

Re: Name sports figures who have been convicted and if they came back
Nick, MacTavish was the guy I was thinking about it in another thread.
he killed a guy (while drunk driving). granted, media coverage of the NHL back then wasn't close to the NFL though. one could also make the case that would Jamal Lewis did was worse

Re: Name sports figures who have been convicted and if they came back
Leonard Little was sentenced to 90 days + probation and stuff for involuntary manslaughter (drunk driving accident) and I don't know if he ever missed any time.
Jamal Lewis spent 4 months in prison for attempting to distribute cocaine. He served a 2-game suspension for violating the drug policy which is kind of weird because he was busted for something he did in college (ie I don't think it was actually a violation of the drug policy).
