A bit more on Judkins:
"In a new twist to the ongoing legal situation surrounding
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, his defense attorney has
filed to waive his right to a speedy trial.
The move, filed in connection with an alleged
misdemeanor charge of battery and domestic violence from a July 12 incident in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has raised eyebrows of all parties invested in the ongoing situation. As of now, there is no clear resolution in sight, with a variety of possibilities that may transpire.
A close look at the filing, brought to light by attorney
Drew Davenport on X, reveals the waiver is for 175 days. This is a significant detail because, in Florida, the speedy trial limit for a misdemeanor is 90 days, while the limit for a felony is 175 days. The disparity raises questions about whether the defense is preparing for the possibility of an elevated charge. Keep in mind, while interesting, this distinction does not indicate that the charges are now felonies."
To me, this sounds like there is a real possibility of more. Rather get ahead of it.
The Browns may not see running back Quinshon Judkins anytime soon, as he has now waived his right to a speedy trial after his recent arrest
