Ummmmm....how do you defend yourself in this one. There are at least a couple hundred witnesses and then the photographs and the players who got beaten themselves....Can someone explain to me how this works?

Always good to know that lawyers are still creative. I can see the call now as they play the tape in court....Offerman swings, AND misses!

I'm sure he's just trying to get the charges dropped. Threaten the DA's that they will have to sit in court, and they may just give him less of a charge in a plea deal. It would cost them alot less money. Its not like he can just get out of the whole thing all together and i'm sure he knows that.

Even if he did miss with the bat, wouldn't it still be attempted assault with a deadly weapon?

Sure, but you aren't always found guilty of and charged with the harshest penalites. So much of the court system is based around time and money. Its much cheaper for the state to let him plea to a lesser deal than to waste money and time in a court room.

I'm telling you this will never go to trial and you will read an article about Offerman pleading guilty to a lesser charge.

"It was a corked bat??"

-Offerman's defense,trying to see if that gets him out of the deadly weapon category.
