Cleveland attorney Colin Jennings filed a not guilty plea for James on Tuesday in Medina Municipal Court. A hearing is scheduled for Feb. 11, the same day the Cavaliers are scheduled to play in Orlando against the Magic.

Of course he's not guilty, the cops had dreamed it.

King James knows how to travel.

What a jerk. Pay the fine and get on with life.

He might have had to plead not guilty because there could be repercussions with his sponsors, insurance agent and/or the league to a guilty plea.

In Canada, a not guilty plea allows for negotiation with the Crown, for a lesser fine or penalty.

Is driving 100 mph bad?

The same is true in the U.S. You always plead not guilty. The penalty then gets reduced in order to avoid a trial. That's what I heard, at least...

101 Tay, 101.

Well, he's still a jerk.

Maybe LeBron thought he was in Canada, and that negotiating with "the Crown" would mean negotiating with The King, i.e. himself.

He's going to have to go with the excuse that he thought he was going 101 Km/h. He could further argue that he was in an altered state and didn't notice how quickly the scenery was passing him by.

There's always the argument that he confused the scenery with the Pistons defense and that is why he flew so quickly through it.
