Randy McMichael (TE), MIA - Alert: MED
September 10, 2005
News: Dolphins' TE Randy McMichael has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge, which drew him a sentence of 90-day probation and a $500 fine. As a result of the plea, McMichael got off the hook on a connected public drunkenness charge. His wife told the prosecuter that she did not want to charge her husband with a battery charge.
On July 9, McMichael got into an argument with his wife in a parking lot, where he hit her. Before this incident, McMichael was arrested in June 2004 on a charge that he hit his pregnant wife. If prosecuters had not dropped the charge, McMichael would have faced up to 15-years in prison for hitting a pregnant woman.
The NFL has not publically stated if they will take any further action. While the move is not likely, the NFL could suspend McMichael without pay.
Views: What is McMichael's wife thinking sticking through all of this? I know I will probably get some email telling me that "marriage is forever" and that "all problems can be worked out." But, when your husband has no problem hitting you when you are pregnant with his child, it is time for you to get up and leave. I don't think it's the NFL's place to take further action on this. I do wish that his wife, Cawanna McMichael, only 22 years old, would get away from the negative situation.
