The release of video footage of Ray Rices violent attack of his now-wife led to outrage nationwide, Rices firing by the Baltimore Ravens and an indefinite suspension levied by the NFL on Monday. The Atlantic County Prosecutors Office, however, stood by its decision not to pursue jail time -- or even probation -- and allow Rice to enter a diversion program instead. Mr. Rice received the same treatment by the criminal justice system in Atlantic County that any first-time offender has, in similar circumstances, Atlantic County Prosecutors Office Jay McKeen said in an email to NJ Advance Media. The decision was correct. And theres no changing the decision to allow Rice into the diversion program, which was approved by Atlantic County prosecutor (and Rutgers Rutgers School of Law gradute) James McClain in May.There can be no further legal punishment taken against Rice for the assault unless he violates terms of the year-long diversion program, which includes mandated counseling.......SO NOW YOU CAN KNOCK SOMEONE OUT IN JERSEY AND GET COUNSELLING..good to know
