ES asked for a translation of the statement by Charles A. Stacy, Ahmad Bradshaw's attorney. I'm sure he's not the only one confused, so here comes my understanding of the situation in plain English:
Bradshaw did something naughty when he was a kid (it's a sealed juvenile thing) and was sentenced to probation by Tazewell County which covers his hometown of Bluefield, Va. Then he went to college (at UVa) and pleaded guilty to the underage drinking thing in 2004. Then he went to another college (Marshall) and was tagged with the petty larceny in 2006. He was sentenced to probation in each of those instances, but apparently those arrests -- not sure if it's either one or the combination of the two -- violated the first probation agreement from when he was a juvenile in Bluefield.
Thus, 30 days behind bars in Abingdon.
Essentially, he's paying for the crimes of his past but has committed no new crimes.
Hope that clears things up.

thanks(as i scratch my head),i think
So he did some wrong things as a kid.
Hopefully, he's now a man and facing up to things well.
This may just make him stronger, and a better person. Could even do some community stuff, let know kids can turn things around, make it a big positive.
Either way, I wish him the best.
let know kids = let kids know they
I certainly hope the team was informed of this before he was locked up.
Thanks Tom.
There is nothing he did wrong that was new. Then why are we even discussing it. I know him spending 30 days in jail stinks but he didn't do anything new wrong so who care. Trust me I understand. I was a child in the car away from being put in jail since my license was suspended for a driving infraction from 3 years ago. Seems the south tends to be a little behind when it comes to one branch of the government to the other.
This piece of garbage is in jail for cheating like the Giants did in the Superbowl.
