What many of the people who are Ray Lewis haters because he "murdered" people need to acknowledge is the fact that these deaths were as a result of self-defense rather than an act of murder. That's what the jury - other people who I'm sure have morals -determined and the legal system determined.

Actually, those of us that payed attention to the case (I've watched the testimony) don't think Ray Lewis actually murdered someone.
What we do think is that Ray Lewis had a lot of money, was able to hire good lawyers, deliberately hid evidence and was reluctant and slow about providing information about the case. He was convicted of obstructing justice in a MURDER case for a reason, you know.
It's not a simple white lie he was telling. Someone died because of his gang friends and his actions that night. And he basically hid evidence that could have helped convict his friends.
So, those of us that don't like him...do so because of Ray Lewis' lack of moral values at the time of this murder.
Thus, we don't think he is as good a person as he and you claim he is. As I've said before, I have nothing against the Ravens. I'm glad Ray Lewis is gone so we don't have to focus on his lack of character anymore. You can be certain if he does go into broadcasting, many of us will continue to bring this up until he just fades away only to become famous again when he goes into the football hall of fame (which he should go into...he was a great football player).
