It depends on how foul a mood the judge is in...
The guy is a celeb. I expect the same treatment LiLo had been getting lately.

Remember all the complaining we used to do about Ellis Hobbs? Things look alot worse now. Who are our starting CB's right now without Talib, Dennard, and Arrington? Marquis Cole and McCourty? Yikes.
This secondary as of right now (with alot of unknowns, obviously) might make us miss Duane Starks.
I am sure he would fight the suspension because he wasn't in the league when the assault happened.
Assault in the third degree against a law enforcement officer consists of intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury to an officer while he is engaged in the performance of his duties and is a Class IIIA felony. (Neb. Stat. Rev. Ann. §28.931.)
Probation
A court in Nebraska can impose probation for up to five years for a felony assault conviction rather than imprisonment. If the offense, such as a Class II felony, requires a minimum prison sentence, that sentence must be served before the defendant can begin probation. A person on supervised probation must meet with a probation officer and comply with conditions of probation such as treatment, maintaining employment and avoiding any further criminal activity or arrests.
Pleas and Pre-Trial Options
Prosecutors may negotiate and agree to a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty plea or to the defendant pleading guilty to a different, less serious crime.
Damn right. "Look! He may have hit a guy, resisted arrest, and be shown on video hitting a cop, but he plays for the Patriots and they need him!"Pisses me off to no end. If i was on that jury i'd gone 12 angry men on their asses.
Hope it works out for Dennard. For the sake of my health next season.
Kid gets in alcohol induced fight that leaves no one hurt = Jail Time.
Star Pro-LB gets in fight that leaves two dead by his own knives = Future Role Model.
Makes sense. Way to go again, system.

Uhm, that wont work. He smacked a cop before he was in the nfl.How long will the NFL suspend him now after he does his time if he does any
From Reiss: "Prosecutors said after the verdict was read that they were not recommending a sentence, the World-Herald reported, adding that typical sentence for a crime like assaulting an officer range from probation (no jail time) to 180 days behind bars."
Now reading between the lines on this case: The police were adamant not to accept a plea. They want the message to be clear within the community that hitting an officer will not be tolerated. I suspect sentencing will be equally inflexible with a middle range sentence. Being high profile hurts the kid because an example is being set for student to learn from.
