![]() Seahawks defensive tackle Rocky Bernard was granted a two-week continuance this morning, meaning his pre-trial hearing will be held at 10 a.m. on June 16. "This will give us a chance to do some more investigation," said Bernard's attorney, Jon Fox (the man on the far left in the picture above). "We also could have some meaningful discussion with the Prosecutor about the case." What might that discussion entail? "We would discuss the facts and see if there is a way to resolve it," Fox said. "We would also go over discovery and procedural standards." While many of the other defendants were dressed in street clothes, Rocky was wearing a dark blue suit with a pinstriped dress shirt and tie. He entered the courtroom just before his case was called, sat down for less than five minutes then had his case called. From the beginning to end, it took about five minutes. I'm heading out to Kirkland right now for the team's mini-camp, which started two minutes ago and ends in about 88 minutes.

Its nice to see Rocky pay the courts due respect by dressing up. I wonder if he looks less intimidating and less like a woman-beater in a suit? Frank, you saw him...what do you think? Does the suit make him look like a friendly man? When you are that large I've got to imagine that no matter what you wear, you scare a certain percentage of the population. However, had he worn a "wife beater" style of uundershirt...without an overshirt, and then the hang-low pants and a red bandana....no chance.
