Darren Sharper is due in court today; Could a trial happen?
The former New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers safety Darren Sharper is now heading to court. According to the Associated Press, Sharper will be in court on Wednesday.
Sharper is charged with drugging and raping two women in Los Angeles last October and the Associated Press reports that there will be a hearing on Wednesday to determine if there is sufficient evidence for Sharper to stand trial. Sharper was originally held on $1 million bail, but a judge ruled that he should be held without bail after he was indicted on similar charges from November in Arizona.
Wednesday’s court schedule is also expected to include a hearing on whether Sharper should be extradited to Arizona to face the charges in that state before any trial in California. Authorities in Louisiana, Florida and Nevada have also investigated Sharper for alleged sexual assaults, but he has not been charged in any case.
It will be interesting to see what the court rules on this case.
