Patriots Cornerback Jack Jones Pleads Not Guilty to Gun Charges Despite Complex Legal History

  • Jack Jones, a New England Patriots cornerback, entered a not guilty plea to multiple weapons charges after being arrested at Logan International Airport.
  • Jones' attorney, Rosemary Scapicchio, reminded everyone to be mindful of the concept of presumed innocence and spoke of the complexities of a Black man being arrested in America.
  • Scapicchio used the word "thug" 14 times during a media appearance, which was criticized.
  • Scapicchio suggested that Patriots fans continue to support Jones, but the charges he faces are not related to football and there is no reservoir of goodwill for him at this time.
  • Jones has a history of legal issues, but has also taken steps to turn his life around and pursue football.
