Report: DeAndre Baker charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm
ATHENS — Former Georgia football All-American DeAndre Baker has been charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm, according to the New York Daily News. If Baker is convicted, the New York newspaper reports the punishment for a robbery involving a firearm is a mandatory sentence of at least 10 years in prison

Wow. Just wow. Who are we to think is to blame for this? Please tell us. Surely it can't be that Deandre Baker himself is responsible for him doing what he (allegedly) did. Kid sitting on top of the world, and now likely going to prison, never to return to the NFL. At some point, people are going to have to become accountable for their own decisioins and actions. Pretty sure this comment will be removed, but I had to write it anyway.
He will likely do time since the crime took place in Florida. He would have already been exonerated if this had happened in New York where he’s employed. I’m sure their mayor would have let him go and fired all the arresting police officers. That may seem like an exaggeration, but it’s becoming a reality.
Gave up several million playing in the NFL to rob people for a few thousand.. Real smart
I'm confused...so did Baker have a gun and threaten others or not?
So he was somewhere with convicted felons for what reason?
It's a funny thing, when you go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds you first.
It was beneficial for me to learn that very early in life.
I wish DeAndre had learned it. So disappointed.
His lawyers statement is proof.. By Blaming the judicial system as the cause. They didn't pull a weapon. Only reason the snake is defending Baker is solely monetary related..what a hypocrite. And people wonder why lawyers get a bad rap. Actions speak volumes
So I guess no one in this comment thread has heard of innocent until proven guilty. We really need a new civics lesson plan in this state.
I pray justice is served to all involved in wrongdoing . My sincere hope is that Baker did nothing wrong and he is exonerated.
Well, my comment didn't get deleted but it did get edited. Gotta make sure nobody (on the Left) gets offended, amirite?? Also, ArimanE, did you not see where I said ALLEGEDLY? I hope he's innocent as much as anyone else, but when the DA studies the case for 6 months and then presses charges, there's a pretty good chance he did it.
Watch out, I think Baker's lawyer downvoted your comment. ;-)
"Innocent until proven guilty" is strictly a term for the jury.
It does not apply to citizens.
Honestly, I think the main thing that folks on here are calling him guilty of is stupidity. To paraphrase what I said in my earlier post, don't go looking for trouble and trouble usually won't find you. It's worked for me all of my life.
Oh no, I won't be able to sleep, eat, or function properly knowing I got a down vote 😆
