" A trial on the assault charge ended with a hung jury in April 2000."
LOL
Frigging mentalcase.
I'm pretty sure his off field escapades was the reason the Pats ditched him.
From the article sounds like he, like 80% of the rest of them, is flat broke.
Park Ranger? Public defender?
He was talking about all of the small receivers for the Washington Redskins on MNF right? He referred to them “running around like little monkeys” if my memory is correct.

The woman told police she woke up at 1 a.m. Tuesday and found a man she knew as “Mike” sitting on her bed, according to an incident report. The man demanded that she repay $200 she owed him and raped her when she said she didn’t have the money, police said.
Afterward, the man told her he was sorry and that she didn’t have to repay him. The woman drove herself to the hospital, where Meggett later met her and was arrested, according to police records.
Meggett, who is listed as living in North Charleston, had been out on bond in connection with another sexual assault charge.
In September, he was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct after a 17-year-old North Charleston woman told authorities she was raped by a man she knew as “Michael,” according to police records.
Both South Carolina arrests occurred while Meggett was serving out two years probation for a 2006 sexual battery charge in North Carolina.
...........
Meggett has been acquitted on sex-related charges in the past. In 1990, while he was with the Giants, Meggett was found not guilty of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in Baltimore. Eight years later, he was charged with assaulting a woman in a Toronto hotel room after she refused to continue having sex with him, but that charge was dropped.
..........
The Patriots released Meggett in 1998 after the Toronto charge.
Technically, Howard Cosell’s comment was “look at that little monkey” in describing Alvin Garrett, a black receiver for the Washington Redskins back in the 1980s. Cosell was thoroughly shocked, as a liberal’s liberal, to have the race card played against him and said the “little monkey” comment was term of endearment he used on his own grandchildren.
Cosell, who caught hell as a supporter of Muhammad Ali when Ali was avoiding the Draft, felt his bonafides were unquestionable as someone above racial charges. This was near the time that he left Monday Night Football.
Wyhat Cossel said was “look at that little MONKEY run”
