Johnny Jolly granted release after six months of six-year sentence

Posted by Michael David Smith on May 15, 2012, 3:35 PM EDT

AP A Texas judge has granted former Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly his request for early release, just six months into a six-year prison sentence.
The judge gave Jolly what is known as “shock probation,” which is granted when an offender convinces a judge that he was shocked into turning his life around by spending a short period of time in prison. Jolly will remain on probation for 10 years and will have to serve 200 hours of community service.
Jolly was arrested four times for illegal possession of codeine, and he has said that he battled an addiction to codeine since high school. He and his lawyer have also argued that he is merely an addict who has never hurt anyone other than himself, and that he doesn’t belong in prison with dangerous criminals. The judge evidently agreed.
The 29-year-old Jolly, who started every game for the Packers in the 2008 and 2009 seasons, has been indefinitely suspended from the NFL since 2010.

I wonder if Goodell will change Jolly's question mark to a period.

He's going to need to sell a lot of codeine to make up for lost salary.

Plus he'll have to sell enough to pay for his own.

Like Johnny Cochran said,

"Plead with the judge about 'personal hell', quickly get out of the cell!"

Johnny may have told of his travails in prison and convinced the judge it was a real hell, since he couldn't get any purple drank.

He's probably clean at least...so he has that going for him.

Will he be able to stay clean? That's the question.

**cemDrymnVem** · 05-16-2012, 12:09 AM

It always is with addicts.

Locking them up is never the answer.

If he was caught selling, its another story.

Well, that was what he was on probation for, wasn't it?

I think he just had a high volume.

He could have been selling or trafficking, but I don't think they could prove that.

He probably is just really hooked and his friends are too.
