Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Renee Korn rejected the defense idea that former NFL'er Darren Sharper should be granted bail and be held under house arrest until trial as he appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Monday. Judge Korn is waiting to see if the state of Arizona will pursue extradition proceedings...
Prosecutors say the Arizona governor's office is preparing to extradite Sharper even as Sharper's defense team is saying the opposite is true.
Basically, Sharper is still in trouble in more than one state and it will all start in Los Angeles at some point...

Arizona Adds to List of Darren Sharper Rape Charges
((ht: theneworleansadvocate.com))Okay, so former NFL All-Pro Safety Darren Sharper is now facing charges in two states, is about to be indicted in a third state and is under investigation in two more.
The second state to officially charge the former New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers safety is Arizona. According to reports, a Tempe, Arizona (Maricopa County) Grand Jury indicted Sharper on two counts of sexual assault and three counts of administering a dangerous drug.
He's been accused of drugging then raping women in Tempe. He's been indicted in Los Angeles on similar charges and had been out on bond there until a warrant was taken for his arrest in New Orleans---again for similar charges. New Orleans officials expect to present their case for an indictment when their Grand Jury meets on Thursday. No word though when that indictment would be handed down.
And...did we mention he's being investigated in Las Vegas and Miami Beach?

The challenge now appears to be who gets Sharper in court first. He appeared in Los Angeles because they were the 1st to charge him. And he had been released on a $1 million bond as long as he stayed there. That changed after the warrant was issued in New Orleans, he's been in an L.A County jail since.
While Sharper's attorney maintains his clients innocence, the appearance here is that of a serial rapist. His attorney's in all the case say Sharper will be exonerated, though it appears the pattern in each case is frighteningly similar.
We'll keep monitoring this story because we're guessing it's nowhere near over.

Darren Sharper In Deep Doo-Doo in New Orleans (and Other Places)
((HT: WWL-TV))
This is not good at all...
Former NFL'er and NFL Network analyst Darren Sharper is currently in jail in Los Angeles after surrendering last week to police after a warrant was issued in connection with the alleged rapes in New Orleans.
Sharper and an acquaintance-slash-friend, Eric Nunez, are each facing two charges of aggravated rape in the incident that dates back to September.
Sharper also has been charged with seven felonies in Los Angeles related to cases in which he's accused of drugging and raping two women he met at nightclubs. He pleaded not guilty to those charges. The release of the indictment in New Orleans also lends itself to concurrent information and an apparent pattern for all of the incidents he is under investigation for in California, Louisiana, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona.
The interesting part of all this should be the legal wrangling that goes on from this moment forward because the severity of possible jail terms differs from state to state...
