Harvey Steinberg does it again: QB Chris Simms acquitted

Chris Simms, the Broncos’ back up quarterback to Kyle Orton during the 2009 season, was acquitted by a New York jury today of driving while under the influence of marijuana.

Simms was represented by Denver attorney Harvey Steinberg, who spoke to The Denver Post from New York just before boarding a flight home.

“He should never have been charged,” Steinberg said. “There was no evidence. It took the jury less than an hour after three days of trial to acquit him. It’s unfortunate his reputation was besmirched by the fact there was even this allegation.’”

Simms was arrested at a checkpoint on July 1, 2010 while driving an SUV with his pregnant wife and friend Charlie Granatell. The arresting officer noted Simms took an alcohol breathalyzer that registed no reading but arrested the quarterback because of the smell of marijuana from the car. During trial testimony, Granatell said he was the only person who was smoking marijuana.

Simms, 30, is the son of CBS NFL color commentator and former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, who shredded the Broncos for 22 of 25 passing druing a 39-20 victory in Super Bowl XXI. It was the first of John Elway’s five Super Bowl appearances.

Steinberg has represented many Denver professional sports stars over the years and has won acquittals or ”slap-on-the-wrist” pleas in most of them.

Here's the narrative of the report in case anyone's too lazy to open the PDF. I didn't bother with the separate accounts, as they're largely redundant aside from the part where Dumervil said that there wasn't a gun in the car.

Officers were dispatched in emergency mode to the 700 block of Collins Ave in response to an armed (firearm), black male threatening someone. Initially, the subject vehicle dispatched was a white Chevy Impala driving southbound on Collins Avenue. Officers arrived within minutes and located a vehicle matching the description. However, all occupants of that vehicle were of white Hispanic descent. It was at that time that the occupants of that vehicle explained that the subject vehicle was directly behind them and they were the victims of the assault. The vehicle, a grey Mercedes, 4dr FL tag BKC735 was subsequently stopped and all (3) occupants were removed at gunpoint and detained pending investigation.

XXXXXX (victim/witness) was the front passenger in the white Chevy which was initially stopped. He stated as they were traveling south on Collins Ave, they were involved in an incident in which his wife, XXXXXX (driver), merged in front a gray range rover which was following the silver Mercedes. An argument ensued which involved a lot of horn blowing by all vehicles and verbal threats/name calling. He further stated at some point the def who was a passenger in the Mercedes exited his vehicle and walked up to their vehicle and verbally threatened him while lifting his shirt to display a firearm in his waistband. XXXXXX stated that the co-def Elvis Dumerville, who was later positively identified, also walked up to her vehicle and displayed a firearm in his waistband as well but never said anything. After witnessing the firearm the driver, XXXXXX, quickly accelerated around the Mercedes in an attempt to retreat.

Officer Fernandez then interviewed XXXXXX, an employee of Victoria’s Secret, who phoned police of the incident. Her statement of facts concurred with that of the victim, XXXXXX, except that she added that during the initial horn blowing, the victim exited his car and yelled toward the vehicle behind them but never moved towards it. Traffic was at a standstill due to heavy vehicular traffic. XXXXXX further stated that the driver of the white Chevy exited her vehicle and threw an unknown item at the Range Rover striking it.

Defendant was positively identified by XXXXXX and subsequently arrested. Firearm was recovered from the floor of the Mercedes behind the driver and additional firearm was also recovered from Dumerville’s vehicle within the glove box. Both were impounded as evidence.

Yeah, it's best just to ignore KnowMo in cases like this. He tends to derail otherwise interesting discussions.

Perrish Cox Acquitted In Sex Assault Case

A Colorado jury acquitted former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault charges on Friday, a verdict that was met with disbelief by the alleged victim.

Cox was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his apartment in September 2010 after a night of partying. She became pregnant, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father.

“I love my lawyer and everybody else who’s been with me,” he said.

Steinberg had disputed the DNA test results and suggested they may have been contaminated. During the cross-examination of witnesses, he tried to paint a picture of drunkenness, and of the alleged victim and another woman who was at the apartment being able to interact with people without remembering.

“We always felt there were substantial holes in the case,” he said after the verdict. “We had hoped they (the jury) would see those same holes.”

Will you please stop? I personally find this interesting, and you're doing what you always do - shit all over the thread until it results in nothing but you going "OMG THIS IS NO BIG DEAL" and everyone else saying "OMG LOOK AT HIM HE'S SO DUMB." Christ, don't you like to actually discuss things reasonably from time to time?

Sweet, Knowmo supports rape as long as they have a good lawyer.

That's great and all, but that case has **** all to do with Dummervil's dipshitedness, outside that Steinberg is defending him.

At a minimum, and maybe after appeal. Goodell does NOT like his players acting like fools.

He needs to go to jail. I get so sick of my community tolrating this kind of crap. We already have a mile long line of people defending this garbage because of his Sunday laundry.

[MagicHef]

Even the police can't spell Dumervil's name correctly.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if he does for any significant length of time. I know the letter of the law says that they can send him to jail, but they do at least consider intent when evaluating cases like this.

My guess is that he ends up pleading it down to a slap on the wrist with some fines and maybe token jail time (a few weeks at most). The question will be how much of an example Goodell decides to make this time around.
