He called the lawyers involved in the trial 'media whores'.

[No, there is no 'hard' proof, but if AP didn't admit to it, then why haven't we seen a statement from AP denying it?

I'm guessing his legal team determined it was best to say nothing, which seems wise to me, since in the motion itself, it's revealed that the DA's office is assuming, because Peterson's alleged statement was made during the testing process, that he "smoked marijuana while on bond for the current offense". Basically, they've got nothing without a positive test result.

I think the more significant question is: if the DA is convinced Peterson smoked weed after agreeing to the terms of his bail, why did he file a motion on the basis of a third party's statement about something Peterson allegedly told him instead of just waiting for positive test results (ie: actual evidence)?

Bail occurs to get out of jail. Since then and his arraignment is when he smoked. He "allegedly" told the person collecting his urine sample that he "smoked a little weed". Rather than give him the benefit if the doubt I'll give the employee the benefit of the doubt. Innocent until proven guilty but I can think his word is garbage all I want.

Because he's a "media whore" ?

1. Of course lawyers are whores......the juge just suffered from a moment of uncontrolled honesty...
2. AP is such a fool that he cant help himself, he is running around volunteering all sorts of confessional statements...."I whopped that boys ####" "I smoked dope", God knows what other idiocy he will volunteer next!......WHen you BEG for legal trouble the authorities are kind of stuck having to pursue it.
3. It is really disgusting that he is getting paid by the Vikes while doing no work and running up legal bills that we the tax payers are having to cover, court costs, investigative costs, etc

The recusal hearing has been delayed until October 22nd and Peterson has officially filed a plea of "not guilty":

If he was a weed smoker, he probably never would have punished his kid with a switch.

Truth. Violent crime is down in Colorado.

Or he has an alibi. No bruises on his hands or anywhere else. And witnesses/evidence to show he wasn't anywhere near you at the time of the crime. And you end up getting charged with filing a false report....

He was arrested for a crime, posted bail, they gave him a form stating what he was not able to do while he was waiting for his trial (including not using drugs that were not legal in the state of texas). He signed it. And then used an illegal substance. And is apparently going to test positive for it.

But your non-existent situation is perfectly reasonable situation that happens all the time, damn the justice system!

More likely you have someone who gets charged, pays a lawyer, pays his bail, and despite doing something that's clearly and obviously wrong/illegal, gets off with a slap on the wrist...

Lol, this situation happened to me. The witness as I said can be VERBAL. As long as the two sick to their story its HARD to prove its false. I was sleeping in my house with my two brothers and parents and that wasn't a good enough alibi for crap. But I am assuming your speaking from personal experience? right. I lost about 2 grand and went through more stress than id wish on anybody and have a strongly negative view towards the government now, But ya it never happens . More like you don't realize its happens till it happens to you.

Case remains on the case:

http://www.startribune.com/local/280108652.html

A Texas judge swept aside a possible block Wednesday to a Dec. 1 trial for Minnesota Vikings MVP Adrian Peterson’s felony child abuse case.

Retired Texas Judge Jeff Walker declined the prosecution’s request to take Judge Kelly Case off the case.

Texas prosecutors also are seeking to revoke Peterson’s $15,000 bond because he admitted before a drug test two weeks ago to “smoking a little weed.” Results of the ensuing drug test have not yet been made public.

Now that Case’s status as the presiding judge is settled, he can conduct a hearing on the bond revocation. Hardin said no date has yet been selected for that hearing.

Previously, a pretrial hearing date was tentatively set for Nov. 4, with the topics undetermined.
