[CBFF] Pacman suspended FOR THE SEASON; Henry gets 8

[Jim Ferolie]

The criminal justice system has to go a whole lot farther in its burden of 
proof -- since you are taking away both livelihood AND freedom -- than the 
commissioner does. I think that's part of the new bargain worked out. As 
long as they have decided that he's brought shame upon himself and the 
league, their burden does not have to be "beyond a reasonable doubt." Just 
my impression.
