Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was charged with murder following the stabbing deaths of two men after the Super Bowl on Jan. 31, 2000. Lewis then accepted a plea bargain of 12 months probation for a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge, then testified against the men who were with him at the time, Joseph Sweeting and Reginald "A.J." Oakley.
Lewis was in Atlanta to watch as the St. Louis Rams beat the Tennessee Titans in the Super Bowl. Early the next morning a fight occurred leaving Jacinth D. Baker and Richard D. Lollar bleeding from fatal knife wounds and Lewis' limousine was riddled with bullets as it left the scene.
A jury recently acquitted the two men of murder charges, leaving the football star as the only person to be convicted of a crime in the post-Super Bowl slayings.
