The Pledge of Allegiance to our country ends “with liberty and justice for all.” Evidently, that doesn’t include good athletes. Jeremy Hill, star running back for the LSU Tigers football team, proved that this week.
On Monday morning, Judge Bonnie Jackson, a state district judge, gave Hill another chance to escape jail time and with Coach Les Miles and the vote of teammates, reinstalled him as a member of the team.  
Hill was in court for his participation in a fight outside a Tigerland bar in April. He originally told police he was not anywhere around the fight until they showed him a video of him punching a fellow student in the head from behind. He then pleaded guilty to simple battery. This was a probation violation for an incident that happened in December 2010 while he was a star running back at Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge. Hill, at the time, was 18 years old when he pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old girl in the high school’s locker room.
On Jan. 6, 2012, the same Judge Jackson imposed a two-year probation on Hill.  
On Monday, instead of ruling that he violated his probation, which would have sent him to jail, the judge extended the probation until 2016. (The judge must be a LSU
fan!)
I guarantee in Baton Rouge she’ll be re-elected.
Jeremy Hill addressed the team and apologized for what he said
was a poor choice. He, also, said
that he will continue to be a role model for the kids in the community. That should scare some
parents. But who cares, as long as the top priority is winning a football game!
