It seems that the state attorney’s office has not been prepared to decide whether the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib should be accepted into a re-trial intervention program that is usually reserved for first-time, non-violent offenders.
The cornerback is scheduled to have a hearing on Friday in Pinellas County but it was delayed. He was charged with simple battery for allegedly hitting cab driver David Duggan in the head. Many doubts if Talib is qualified to apply for the PTI program. The hearing was delayed perhaps because the state attorney’s office is concerned that it might strike as preferential treatment for an athlete if Talib is accepted into the program. The charges would be dropped if Talib was accepted into the program.
What’s more Talib was no way a first-time offender. He fought Cory Boyd at the FL’s rookie symposium, popped popping teammate Torrie Holt in the face with a helmet last spring when he was trying to hit another teammate Donald Penn. As a player always being seen in public wearing NFL jerseys, Talib should at least take responsibility for what he did.
