Reporting another unusual event: a Florida attorney was arrested on suspicion of charges of attempted extortion of DeAndre Baker, the former New York Giants football team cornerback.

SOUTH FLORIDA ATTORNEY ARRESTED ON EXTORTION CHARGE | Broward County

Details of the DeAndre Baker case and attorney arrest were provided by local Florida news, which doesn't make clear the veracity of the reported claims that an armed robbey had taken place. From the story it seems that, regardless of whether the robbery had taken place, the attorney's alleged offer to make a criminal case disappear in exchange for a settlement may have been sufficient to undermine the prosecutor's ability to obtain a criminal conviction. Hence, the case was dropped against DeAndre Baker as it was against Seattle Seahawks cornerback, Quinton Dunbar. Regardless, the former NFL player appears to have avoided charge and is free to continue his professional football career.
 
When anyone is summoned to answer for their misdeeds before the bar of justice, a fair trial will ensue.

If the attorney did whatever he stands accused of doing, Lady Justice will have her say.
