"murdered" people need to acknowledge is the fact that these deaths were as a result of self-defense rather than an act of murder

So stabbing someone 12-18 times is self defense to you? Also NO WHERE in any reports does it say that it was wrote off as self defense.
Quote:
Lewis's attorneys, Don Samuel and Ed Garland, of the Atlanta law firm Garland, Samuel & Loeb, negotiated a plea agreement with Howard, where the murder charges against Lewis were dismissed in exchange for his testimony against Oakley and Sweeting,[49] and his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.[15] Lewis admitted he gave a misleading statement to police on the morning after the killings. Superior Court Judge Alice D. Bonner sentenced Lewis to 12 months' probation. One year in prison is the maximum sentence for a first-time offender,[50] and the immediate probation was the judge's decision. He was also fined $250,000 by the NFL, which was believed to be the highest fine levied against an NFL player for an infraction not involving substance abuse.[51] Under the terms of the sentence, Lewis could not use drugs or alcohol during the duration of the probation.
Oakley and Sweeting were acquitted of the charges in June 2000

He hid and destroyed evidence in the murder (His suit missing, knife cleaned of all DNA, attempted cleaning of the limo, and paying off a female witness in the limo) of two men because they stepped on someones foot. Both Ray Lewis and the other two charged are known gang members of a group called the "posse" out of lakeland, where Lewis was raised.
The fact the you so dearly idiolize this man says nothing for your character or morals. It is an ongoing issue with Ray Lewis and the Ravens will be a better team with out him, just as they were through half the season this year. There ARE plenty of fans out there who still vocalize displeasure with both the Ravens and the NFL for allowing him to continue playing, as with the petition to ESPN to stop them from contracting him as a field commentator.
Idiolize who you want! But don't set there and throw information about it being ruled "justified" or self defense because that is B.S.
