Nah, but only because they're too stupid to get the job done
A former Florida State football player, who had been charged with attempted murder, has been allowed to plead guilty to three lesser felony counts for a drive-by shooting in which no one was injured. Bryne Malone, 22, entered the pleas Tuesday to charges of shooting into an occupied building April 30. Circuit Judge Charles Francis sentenced him to 16 months in a work-release program with credit for about nine months already served at the Leon County Jail. He will be able to work outside during the day but must return to prison each night. Florida State coach Bobby Bowden kicked Malone off the team shortly after his arrest. Malone, a defensive tackle, and a friend, Julian Moore, 30, were charged with firing a rifle at the home of several Florida State students. Moore still faces charges in the case. Police said Moore had a running dispute with the students, one of whom he said ``disrespected'' him, according to court records. The judge also ordered Malone to pay $1,333 in court costs and restitution in an amount not yet determined. Malone also must serve three years of probation with a ban on consuming alcohol and possessing firearms.
A driveby where no one was hit.
