DJK arrest for popping pills in his drug house...

Well the whole athlete in suit is the defense trying to make him look like he is proffessional, or trying to show the judge he is not a scum bag. If what you say about the roommate being wealthy, I don't get why he is not there in a suit with lawyers. Unless they are planning on him taking the fall, and trying to detract all of the problems from DJK....

I, and many others, feel that the cops are interested in whoever these guys are getting their stuff from (probably specifically who the roommate got his stuff from). Their operation didn't scream 'big time' so, I'm guessing the cops are interested in taking down whatever network exists.
Yes, because teams never take flyers on players convicted of drugs. he cost himself some but he will still get a shot.
Yup. Depending on his punishment, he may get a shot to try out for a few teams. Somebody may pick him up, and then depending on his attitude and skill, he may get a shot at actually playing.
I wouldn't read to much into that, DJK was bailed out earlier so he had time go put on a suit. Plus he's being charged with using drugs, his roommate is being charged with selling them. Huge difference there.
If this spreads to a larger portion of the Hawk team and they all are suspended for the first few games and/or kicked off the team that would be amazing. I wouldn't mind seeing a few of their starters sitting out against us.
DJK got out on bail, his roommate was still in jail when he made his initial court appearance. I don't think cops would be interested in who DJK's roommate sold to, it's more likely that they're investigating who he bought the drugs from, working up the supply chain, not down.
I was commenting on the fact the big difference between DJK and his roommate and how it is weird his roommate isn't out on bail if his family supposedly has money.
DJK paid the $800 for his $8000 bail, through what I assume must have been a bail bondsmen. His roommate had a $10000 bail, IIRC, and perhaps he or his family couldn't or wouldn't pay it?
Again like I said, IF his roommate's fam has money it doesn't make sense. You realize the difference needed to pay the bail for his roommate is $200, bringing it to a cool thousand.
I realize this but regardless, getting out, getting into a suit and looking respectable can do wonders for you, especially if you have the money to do so as one poster commented earlier.
We don't know how DJK got his $800. Like I said, perhaps his roommate's parents weren't going to post the bail for him, and he didn't have a $1000? I've never been arrested. I have no idea how the bail/bonds system works.
If my son had been arrested for the second time for selling drugs, I would be in no hurry to bail him out, I would let him sit in jail for a while.
Usually if your bond is set at 10,000 you go to a bail bondsmen and pay them 10%. Then they post the full 10,000 for you and keep your 10%(1,000). This lets you be out, and work and live a semi normal life which lets you go to work and be with your family.
You are expected to go to court on time and fulfill any duties you are expected too. If you don't people like Dwayne "dog" chapman hunt you down and throw you back in jail and revoke your bond.
If you go to court and do everything you are supposed to the court gives the bail bondsmen their money back and the bail bondsmend keeps your 10%.
The idea is that it costs you more money to sit in jail(ie can't work) than it does to pay a bail bondsmen to pay the full price.
No I haven't gone to jail.
Edit: I kind of used the terms bail and bond just randomly, I remember there is a small difference, I am not exactly sure what it is at this point.
This is pretty much how much I know about the system, based off of the Wiki entry.
As for the actual issue of why DJK is out and his roommate isn't, I have no idea.
