The prosecutor's office is telling people it is not uncommon to release people arrested for public intoxication to have no charges ultimately filed against them. I'm not a criminal defense lawyer so I don't know what is common practice here in Marion County.

Well, they may not have a chief of police on their team anymore, but they obviously have SOMEONE!

Corrupt Carl does not prosecute pro sports players...or team owners.

I don't think the connection to Peyton is strong enough to warrant a recusal by Brizzi, unless there are other facts unknown to me.

I must have missed something....I am unaware of any other Colts arrests lately. Can you bring me up to date? They usually are a pretty decent group especially compared to the thug machine known as the Pacers.

Gary, will Brizzi be able to prosecute this case or do you think he'll hand it over to a special prosecutor?

While I am not familiar with ethics laws, I personally believe there could be a conflict of interest because both Brizzi and Colts player Peyton Manning are investors in Harry and Izzy's.

If I recall correctly, you've previously criticized Brizzi for cutting lenient deals with those in the sports industry when they're facing criminal charges.

I recommend Matt Taibbi's "Jock's Guide to Getting Busted."

He calls late June & July "Arrest Season":

"In terms of jock crime sprees, no other stretch rivals late June and July. Why? For one thing both the NHL and NBA seasons have come to an end, unleashing on places like Vegas, Atlanta, and Miami a torrent of millionaire Slavic and Scandinavian power drinkers and seven-foot NBA jism-spewing machines, all with eight months of rigorous dieting and physical training to undo.

Plus, there’s this: Every year the NFL welcomes about 300 rookies into the league, and it’s during the midsummer months that most of them are introduced to gobs of money and near-total freedom for the first time in their lives. No more agents, coaches, and parents following them around all day, no more classes — just a brand-new apartment in an alien city, unlimited sexual opportunities, and 24 long hours in each and every day. At least until camp begins."
