Re: Reuben in trouble again...
I know that the 49ers (at least since the Harbaugh years) have always used a particular lawyer whenever their players are in legal trouble. I say this b/c I'd think maybe the lawyer would be able to get and pass along info the front office that would either support or not support the player's version of the events. It is my understanding that Reuben was trying to get the girlfriend out of his apartment after telling her to leave (and she refused). That is not to say the treatment she received is justified, but in the eyes of the law, it may be a mitigating circumstance.
No matter the end result, Reuben (and other players like him) need lots of help, strong structures, and need to cut away the bad influences in his life. At this point, regardless of the actual facts, I see a lot of NFL Rolando, and I absolutely hate that for him.
