Boston Globe - John Morgan, who claims he represents two victims, was asked by WEEI radio if he had any doubt that Meriweather was the shooter of his clients. “I have a lot of doubt about that,” Morgan said. “That’s what these fellas told me, but I don’t assume that to be true at all. I assume nothing to be true until we get an investigation completed. Their allegation to me is … one of the fellas was in a fight with someone else out there and their allegation is that Meriweather shot him. That bullet grazed that fellas head and hit the second client, went through the cheek and head… the cops have had this case for two weeks.”
First reactions on hearing this upon waking up? Meh. Let's be honest, it was only a matter of time. It was great while it lasted but we all knew something like this was coming. The guy was a character concern on draft day due to a few "incidents" during his time at The U, and frankly I'm shocked he lasted this long without something happening (also I feel that we should just designate any player coming out of The U as having character concerns, it's a given). Whether or not he actually did it let's just say no one should be shocked that he's in some way involved(that lawyer's statement is going in the lawyer's hall of fame, guy isn't committing to shit, yea his client has a hole in his cheek, no he's not going to agree that it was or wasn't Brandon Meriweather who put it there, but it was totally Brandon Meriweather) .
And really, it probably shouldn't matter. I mean Ray Lewis (also from Miami) went out and killed a couple of people during his Super Bowl pregame routine over a decade ago. All he's done is go on to be one of the best Linebackers the game has ever seen. So all in all, if Brandon can avoid jail time by simply apologizing, ala Ray-Ray, he should be looking at a Hall of Fame career. And as a Patriots fan, that's all I really care about here.
