Attorney for Pacman Upset at Treatment

I am not sure about US law, I just checked Victorian Crimes Act and the definition of coercion I could find was Marital Coercion (s. 336) and Coercion was defined as -

(3) For the purposes of this section "<<coercion>>" means pressure, whether in the
form of threats or in any other form, sufficient to cause a woman of ordinary
good character and normal firmness of mind, placed in
the circumstances in which the woman was placed, to conduct herself in the
manner charged.

Using physical force is assault (s. 31 Crimes Act) and threats of assault is also a degree of Assault down here. Again I am not familiar with US Criminal Law in regards to that though.

 

Here Assault and Battery are two different things reference physical force. Example: I throw a punch and hit the guy in the face... thats Battery, but if I throw a punch and miss ( no contact )... that's Assault. That all being said... I want Jones on the team and love what he does on the field, but from day one he represented himself in a bad lite.

 

Titanpride has it right on US coercion. And it is all that pacman is charged with, just 2 counts of it.

 

lol...and don't forget you learn to speak Fisher, which rivals some politicians.

 

I thought this was a thread on how Pacman is mistreating his lawyer...

 

Pac's lawyer is right on this one. They published the warrant before it was even issued. That wouldn't happen with anyone who wasn't a celebrity, because it's basically illegal. Then it also created the impression that the warrant had been out there longer, and Pacman wasn't turning himself in, when in fact he did exactly what the LVPD expected him to do. This is some serious grandstanding by the DAs office.

 

There are so many "breaches of protocol" with the handling of this case, I'll be surprised if it ever makes it to trial. I'm smelling dismissal before opening statements are heard.

I'll be interested to see how quickly this occurs.

 

I know for a fact that local media have been calling and keeping in contact with the Las Vegas police department to get updates on the charges.

The warrant and details were released to the media BEFORE it was signed and "officially" a warrant. The media knew about the warrant BEFORE Manny and Pac. Also, Pac was given less than 24 hours to turn himself in. A non-celebrity person would have been given at least 72 hrs., however Pac had to get on a plane to Vegas immediately and wanted to turn himself in immediately for fear that it would be presented that he was avoiding turning himself in.

No matter your personal feelings about Pac, he is being treated unfairly. The media is being notified BEFORE his legal team is being notified.
