Perrish Cox was arrested in 2010 for felony sexual assault. He was found not guilty. These are both important facts. A person is not guilty because they are charged, this is why we have the justice system and “innocent until proven guilty” is the backbone of it. Cox will never spend a day in prison for the crime he was charged with in 2010 and for that we have to respect the rules of the courts and the reasonable doubt that set him free.
But why the hell did the Seahawks need to sign him to a contract on Wednesday given the strong case accusing him and Demaryius Thomas of giving women the date rape drug and then Cox impregnating one of them while she was asleep?
