LaMichael James, the star Oregon tailback, is accused today of 5 misdemeanor charges. One charge of strangling, two of fourth degree assault, and two of physical harrassment. His bail is set at 100,000, and he will be released either today or tomorrow with an ankle bracelet. His girlfriend is reportedely accusing him of these crimes, saying he left her with neck pain and abrasions. He has also been accused of fighting in the past.

While it's easy to rejoice, I strongly discourage it. While it does definitely bolster our hopes in the 2010 campaign, it is a 20 year old's life we have at stake here. I hope these allegations aren't true and that LaMichael James is truly an upstanding young man who would not commit this crime. But if it happens that he did the crime, then we should hope he is not that type of man and that this was some kind of fluke. I hope that he can (if he did commit the crime) stop these violent activities and become a better person. Best of luck to LaMichael
