Here's
my write up on it. Including a good link from Keith from HPF his new Texans website.
As for getting two DWI arrests in short order, here's my view of this as a lawyer.
Once you have got a DWI arrest for anything, every time you get pulled over after that for a traffic offense, you are likely going to be asked to do field sobriety tests. The police will run your record in their car, and decide that you may be a risk.
Field sobriety tests are garbage. They are performed because a lot of people, including Ced Benson refuse to do the breathalyzer. I would probably refuse a breath test too, even if I had only one drink because I think those machines are garbage too.
We do not know whether Ced was driving while intoxicated. That whole innocent before proven guilty stuff that we crazy Americans are supposed to believe (except that Goodell guy).
The bigger problem that Ced has is that he has never realized what trouble he is in. That once you get a reputation for immaturity and partying, whether deserved or undeserved, you have to go out of your way not to appear like a partier. And you have to affirmatively show what a hard worker you are and how serious you are about your job.
He didn't get that. Whether he understands that now is possibly a different story. Nobody would take his relatively small contract off waivers. Now it is a question about whether he can get anyone to believe that he is going to do things the right way. To try to take that target off his back by not only not partying, but by not doing anything that could possibly appear to be partying--like social drinking, or staying out late.
