Maurice Clarett to get at least 3 1/2 years


Recommended Posts

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett agreed Monday to plead guilty to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. The deal would send him to prison for at least 3 1/2 years and end two criminal cases against him.

The agreement was announced by Judge David Fais on the day jury selection was to begin in a case in which Clarett is accused of holding up two people outside a bar.

The concealed weapon charge was from his August arrest after a highway chase with police who found four loaded guns in Clarett's sport utility vehicle after they spiked the tires. Police used pepper spray to subdue and handcuff Clarett, who was wearing a bulletproof vest.

The deal called for a 7 1/2 -year sentence with release possible after 3 1/2 years. The 22-year-old player also agreed to serve five years of probation after the prison sentence.

Boy has he gone downhill! One stupid decision after another... :no:

I hope he dies in jail. He is one of the most worthless pieces of garbage on this planet and contributes nothing positive to society.

Yeah I know it's rough but thats how I feel. He could have EVERYTHING right now, but he's just too stupid to realize that.

WTF?

agreed. coulda been set for life. at the rate hes going he'll be IN for life

OK, obviously there are some confounding factors here. I wouldn't be surprised if Clarett were bi-polar. I don't know if he's ever been diagnosed, but it sounds to me like he could have a bi-polar disorder. It's a real disorder too, so I don't want to hear any of this bullcrap that "oh, that's just something people made up to make people have a problem when they don't."

Did he make mistakes? Yeah, a ton of them. Could have done much better with his life. But he didn't. He made a mistake. It's not your life, it's his... let him do with it what he wants. He'll learn some lessons the hard way. I can't believe you would honestly wish death on another man whom you don't even know in complete seriousness like that. If this were a Saddam Hussain or a Hitler I'd understand, but it's not.

Tell me what he did that makes you want to wish death upon him. Did he rape someone? Nope. Kill someone? Nope. Promote racism? Nope. He made his mistakes. He carried concealed weapons. That's what we're talking about here, guys. This isn't mass murder. Get it in perspective.

Well I'm sure he wasn't carrying a gun around with him to eat, what else would he have it for? Fine fine, I take back that comment, how about we wait until he kills some innocent person, then I'll say it.

Apparently he was carrying the guns for protection because the Israeli mafia is after him, that is also why he was wearing a bulletproof vest

You prove to me that he was carrying them to start problems with someone. Prove that to me. You can't. You can't prove he was carrying them to go shoot the town up. For all you know he was transporting them to his house.

I feel no pity for him. He had it all and threw it all away with his ego and arrogance. He brought this upon himself. Its sad to see but I have no sympathy for him.

While I agree with you that I have no pity for him, I don't think wishing death upon the man is very mature (referring to previous posters, not you).

LOL, ur kidding right? I mean seriously, you're having a laugh? You give me one legitimate reason for a non-miltia to be out at night with a gun and a bulletproof vest!

not your life, it's his... let him do with it what he wants. He'll learn some lessons the hard way.

Unfortunately, while he had the gun and the vest - the "hard way" will be hard for others first. Let him do what he wants? Um, no - that's why we have laws!

He made his mistakes. He carried concealed weapons. That's what we're talking about here, guys. This isn't mass murder. Get it in perspective.

Locking my keys in my car is a mistake. Putting a vase on top of my TV is a mistake. Matching blue and purple is a mistake. Goin out armed, causing aggrevated robbery and attempting to evade the police - they are choices that go against the law! Choices that in an aggrevated situation could have caused the loss of life. Get it in perspective.

njlouch: I hope you're kidding me with that pathetic attempt at a response. You answered none of my questions posed. You can't answer me if he was going to kill someone. You can't tell me who. You can't explain the guns, and neither can I -- so don't assume.

Last time I checked it won't be "hard" for others since no one was hurt. And you're right... that's why we have laws. And that's why he's going to jail. Exactly as it should be. Did I miss something here, or are you just repeating what we all already know? We all already know he broke the law. We all already know he's going to jail. I never said he shouldn't. So, exactly what is your point? He did what he wanted with his life. He's paying the consequences. That's all I stated.

And those are all mistakes. Yes, they are also mistakes that are breaking the law. But get things in perspective here. Stop being so damn anal about it just because he had a future. There are thousands of people who make these mistakes in America. The only reason you're hanging off his ass is because he had chances. He messed them up. What does it matter to you? My entire point was it's stupid to wish death upon someone for those reasons. You did nothing to prove otherwise.

If these things could have cost the loss of a life, why didn't they? Yes, obviously the cops caught him, but I have a feeling if something was really going to "go down", he wouldn't have been so reckless in the matter. Nothing happened. Get that in perspective, sir.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
