Washington Commanders linebacker Jamin Davis agreed to a revised plea bargain in his appeal of a reckless driving conviction Thursday, but a Loudoun County Circuit Court judge did not consider the deal because it was"not substantially and materially different” fromDavis’s latest plea agreement with the commonwealth’s attorney’s office included a maximum of eight days of jail with a minimum of four days actually served.
“We haven’t had a new discussion to make any new counterproposals,” Davis’s attorney, Jeffrey F. Mangeno of Dycio & Biggs, said after Thursday’s hearing. “It’s unfortunate the case was not resolved today in its entirety. We will continue to work the matter.”Judge James E. Plowman did not consider the new agreement because he didn’t deem it significantly different from the proposed deal presented to a different judge on Monday.
It’s unknown if Plowman will be the presiding judge in the Aug. 31 hearing. At that time, Davis’s attorneys could attempt to strike another plea bargain with the commonwealth’s attorney’s office and perhaps even seek alternative punishment, such as home confinement for an extended period after the conclusion of the NFL season. They could also request a trial in which a jury would hear Davis’s case.
The reckless driving conviction — a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable with up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine in Virginia — stems from an incident on March 28, 2022. Shortly after 1 p.m., Davis was cited for driving his McLaren 114 mph in a 45-mph zone on Loudoun County Parkway at Evergreen Ridge Drive.
Davis has a prior speeding conviction stemming from Dec. 19, 2021. He was initially charged with reckless driving , but it was reduced to an infraction. That occurred four days before former Commanders safety Deshazor Everett was involved in an accident that killed his longtime girlfriend and left him with multiple injuries. Davis was with Everett that evening and told police he was ahead of Everett in his McLaren at the time of the crash, according to the arrest document for the incident.
