Geocaris English III 21 March 2015 Another NFL Murder Case Introduction I have been a football fan for most of my life and remember seeing numerous cases dealing with murder or illegal activity by players in the NFL. In fact, “There have been 47 arrests of NFL players since the end of the last regular season: bar brawls, cars wrecked, spouses shoved or beaten” (Solotaroff and Borges).
