In case you miss this, Cerdic Benson plead no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge and was sentenced to 20 days in jail. However, Assistant Travis County(f
or those geographically impaired ) Corby Holcomb said that the cincy starting running back will likely only spend a week in jail due to good behavior.
According to an arrest affidavit, Benson (above) got into a fight with an unknown person at the bar at about 1:50 a.m. on May 30, 2010, which was a Sunday morning. The affidavit said Benson suffered a bloody lip in the fight and shoved a bar manager because he wanted to continue the
scuffle. After Benson was “verbally aggressive” with bar staff, he was escorted out, the affidavit said.Outside the bar, Benson told a bystander “
all these white boys are ganging up on me and kicking me out,” the affidavit said. According to an affidavit, bar employee Bryan White then told Benson: “I’m going to take time out of my busy job to kick you out?” Benson then punched White in the face, the affidavit said.

Is it me or does the fact that the bar employee was named White seem a bit Ironic?
Anyway, My question is, if your Benson, why do you take this plea? Was the outcome that bleak to fore go letting 12 honest Travis County citizens to decide your fate?
Maybe its me, but I feel like Benson could of gotten a better deal. A fine, or community service would of been better. What does Travis County get from making an example of Benson?
For fantasy owners out there, I hope that his attorney can arrange to have him serve this time during their bye week. If he is still available after his time in the pokey, he might be a good pick up if he turns into 2011's Vick.
