Courts don't want to dick with a 3 day trial and the time, resources, etc. needed to pull it off all for a accident where no one was seriously injured. As far as the Court is concerned, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
That's why this will end in a plea deal with lesser charges (all the most serious dropped) and likely probation and of course, an NFL suspension (2-4 games?)
Just go ahead and mark it down now.

I don’t disagree with the plea argument…probably exactly where it’s headed.
It’s also exactly why the charges are what they are and will be what they are until it’s plead down…have to give the appearance of being harsh and tough.
