Plea deal
Hopefully everyone involved can put this behind them and move onOklahoma running back Joe Mixon issued an apology Thursday and has entered an Alford plea to a misdemeanor charge for punching a woman at a Norman restaurant on July 25.
In an Alford plea, a defendant can maintain that he is innocent but allow a court to pronounce him guilty, acknowledging that sufficient evidence exists for a jury to find him guilty.
Mixon has received a one-year deferred sentence, will be responsible for 100 hours of community service and have to partake in counseling.
