I'll go ahead and post a brief response before the Gator twins arrive and this thread devolves into a pissing contest between Florida and Georgia fans.

First off, not all of the charges were dropped. The charge for affray will be dropped, given Jenkins meet the conditions set forth in the deferred prosecution agreement. The resisting arrest charge will not be dropped.

The steps Janoris has to take to meet the agreement are the following:

1. Stay out of trouble for the next six months.
2. Pay the prosecution charges ($50).
3. Either donate $150 to charity or perform 15 community service hours.

Now, the charge for affray was dropped because there the State Attorney's Office ruled that there was reasonable cause for fear of safety on Jenkins' part, as well as a primary aggressor (the one that Janoris punched). Thus, it was ruled as self defense and the affray charge was dropped. The resisting arrest without violence charge, however, will stand.


EDIT: Janoris will also face a likely 1-2 game suspension from Urban Meyer and could receive additional sanctions from the Office of Student Judicial Affairs.
