The Ray McDonald thread

... and he gets arrested at Justin Smith's house. WTF. Way to get your buddy in trouble also. You have to wonder if this guy has had 1 too many blows to the head (maybe a TBA). His decision making is quite poor.

Score one for Baalke. He made the right move.

The front office knew what they were doing and what road RayMac was going down. I don't blame the team for releasing him. this probably costs him a job in the NFL even if he is cleared. Too many red flags now that no other team will touch him. Fangio must be crying he lost his toy.

right here.

this is clearly a case of PTSD. The 49ers played judge and executioner after he was falsely accused. Clearly had an effect on his mental state. I'm sure his lawyer will be contacting the 49ers very soon.

you need to report to sickbay

smart move by Baalke to get rid of him early

I just dont get how he played for this team for what 8 years? and never had incidents until the last couple of years...what changed? or had he always been having these troubles and it never made headlines...sometimes i just want to refuse to believe some people are THIS stupid...

A lot of times more fame and more money makes people feel as if they are something special and are therefore allowed to commit stupid things.

This could be the case with RayMac

Good riddance!

apparently they released the 911 call... I think it says it was the "victim's" mother who called.

I'm at work so I can't hear it. Let me know how it sounds.

I know you can get charged without visible injuries. But I thought to be arrested, something would need to be visible.

Either way, I've defended Ray on here before...and I still believe he is innocent in this. But no excuse to visit this psycho. Even if she has your child and she threatens him/her. Let the police show up there and pray for the best.

do not go anywhere near her.

He seems to have loving parents. I feel bad for them. They shouldn't be too hard on themselves. Some people never learn.

at least Ray has his money. He needs to just spend wisely, pay his child support, and live off that for as long as he can. Doubt any job will open up for him anytime soon. Be it playing or high school coaching.

Why do you believe he is innocent?

Its pretty weird.

So the baby momma's mom called her friend in Los Banos to call the police for a domestic violence incident with a minor. That is exactly how the los banos woman stated it.

Well, the los banos woman tried to call santa clara PD but no one would take the call so she had to dial 9-11 and los banos dispatch picked upnand transferred over to santa clara PD. It was actually funny how it sounded like she called customer service at time warner cable and was being bounced around telling the same story over.

Piecing it together, all you can tell is that Mcdonals was at thr residence drunk and there was a domestic violence with an infant.

Why do you believe he is innocent?

why wouldn't I? I've followed all the previous incidents.

why do you believe he is guilty?

anyway, new info is finally being released from Ray McDonald's side..... also, not surprising, but the place is leased to Ray.

http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_28192274/ray-mcdonald-emergency-recordings-detail-clash-ex-fiancee

McDonald's attorney, Steve DeFilippis, acknowledged Tuesday that his client and ex-fiancée had an argument, but said he said it never became "physical.''

"From the information I have, yes, there was an argument,'' DeFilippis said. "But there was no physical contact, and if so, there was no crime.''

The clash was witnessed by McDonald's driver and the ex-fiancée apparently videotaped at least some of it, evidence that DeFilippis claimed will show McDonald never tried to imprison the woman or attack her.

"They're arguing and he gets mad and says he's leaving and says he's taking his TVs,'' DeFilippis said.

DeFilippis said the woman had ample opportunity to leave during or after the argument if she felt unsafe.

"Something got confused between her and her mother,'' the lawyer said.

It was not clear Tuesday when Santa Clara police would forward the case to prosecutors for review.

As it stands, McDonald does not have any current criminal charges against him in the three cases that have been brought against him since an Aug. 31 clash at his birthday party at his Bentley Ridge Drive home in San Jose, which he has since put up for sale. Prosecutors cited insufficient evidence in the case after the alleged victim did not cooperate with investigators.

I am not sure if he is guilty but certainly have no reason to believe he is innocent. Lots of smoke.

I'm leaning toward innocent based off the previous incidents.

edit- but I am leaning toward him being guilty of being stubborn/gullible.

Yeah dude is ok when hes around others, just has this thing with his ex. which is understandable. They have a kid so that makes things tricky. If he wants to visit his kid he should come to an agreement with the ex for allocated time. If he wants his stuff back he should go through his lawyers with a list of things he wants back.

Not rock up drunk and get into a domestic. what ever the reason for his recent actions with this woman, he saw it to be of greater importance then having another chance of playing in the NFL.

When players of good standing and coache/s vouch of the guy then you have to take that into account. He just has this nut he has to itch with the ex, and its getting him into trouble.
